Mistake 3: Only Shooting Wide

Many people think incorrectly that take a landscape photography is take all about throwing on your widest lens and capturing as much of a scene, is the best way to create beautiful photography. This is completely wrong.

Landscape photography is about selecting the right elements and incorporating them into the shot to produce the best work you possibly can. As far as we know, wide is good, but it’s not the be all and best way to capture great space. Sometimes you can capture too much of a scene and this can detract from what you are trying to achieve. If you can move yourself to a better vantage point then fine but this all takes time and with conditions inevitably changing fast it’s often too much of a risk. Don’t be afraid to zoom in, you can discover the fantastic landscapes around taken at 200mm or more. One interesting side effect of shooting zoomed in is that it flattens out the depth bringing all the elements closer together, this can create a very pleasing effect even with landscapes.

You should choice the suitable light for your product.

However, what can sometimes happen is you think that the sun and any more chance of colored is gone, only for the sky to color back up a few minutes a little later on. So, how do we know this. Not often but enough to know that you need to hang around for a little while longer after sunset to see if any other color will appear in the sky.

Mistake 5: Using Too Much Clutter

In day to day life the human brain is great at removing the unwanted from a scene and focusing on what it wants you to notice, which tends to be the more attractive elements. For example, when you are stood on the beach surveying a beautiful seascape with the sun setting in the distance you don’t even notice that pile of rubbish underneath the jetty.
