By Rosella Campbell


Landscape photography is one of the most interesting forms of photography in the field simply because it deals with taking beautiful pictures of breathtaking scenery. Now if one would want to take up contemporary landscape photography, he has to realize that it is not all just about snapping his camera at the sky or at some mountains. There are a lot of techniques that he would have to know about.

Now one of the most important things to take of when taking a good photograph would be to know when is the right time to capture the photo. Of course this would depend on what kind of picture the photographer would want to take. Most photographers would take pictures at either dawn or dusk so that they can get the best lighting.

Now another thing to think about when taking a really good picture would be to locate the focal point. Now this is actually one of the key principles of taking scenery photographs. Of course one has to know how to locate it in order to get a good shot.

Now one technique to be able to get a good focal point would be to observe a certain scenery and try to chop the scenery into four sections. So there will be the upper left section, lower left section, upper right section, and lower right section with the focal point being in the middle. Now when looking for a focal point, one has to make sure that it is in a place with not much scenery so that the four sections would hog the scenery.

One of the secrets of landscape photographers is that they would never leave home without bringing a polarising filter. The purpose of this filter is to make sure that the saturation and contrast is concentrated. Also, this would take out the glare that some photos have whenever there is excessive light.

Notice that in a lot of seascape photos, the water would actually look kind of milky or creamy. There actually is a technique that would allow photographers to get this kind of effect when they are taking pictures of bodies of water. This trick is called the using of slow exposure and is often used when one is standing atop a cliff or is in the beach.

Now another great technique that photographers would use when they are trying to get the perfect balance between the lighting of both the sky and land would be to use some ND filters. One would often encounter some problems when he would take a picture of the land and the sky together because of the exposure. If he would use the ND filters, he would not need to worry about those kinds of problems anymore.

These are some of the tips that one can use if he would go into the field of landscape photography. This specific field of photography can actually produce a lot of beautiful photographs of scenery as long as the photographer knows how to work the camera.
