Improving Our Landscape Images.
By TJ Tierney, Fri Dec 9th
Landscape photography can be a challenge, but with the rightcomposition and good natural light it can be made a bit easier. All the world's cameras, films and other photographic equipmentare no more than tools for making landscape pictures. Camerasdon't think for themselves. Whether we use digital or filmcamera, the same photographic principles apply. We don't have to stick to many rules to produce great landscapeimages, but knowing what they are will make your pictures moresuccessful. There are two salient points in landscapephotography: how to compose your image, and how to use availablenatural light in any given situation. (Article continued below)

light can be harsh and too strong. Cloudy days bringsoft and defused light. Direction: this refers to light placement. There are threecategories of light placement: front, back and side-lighting.Side lighting produces more texture between light and shade. Colour: the colour of sunlight varies depending upon conditionsand time of day. If the sun shines at the beginning or the endof the day, the colour of the light will be much warmer, andwill lead to a much more dramatic scene. Understanding natural light will develop your ability to see.You will start to see the beauty of light in a different andexciting way. In landscape photography it is very important to take care withcomposition. A normal scene can be transformed by paying closeattention to detail. Composition is all about how you arrangethe elements in front of you. Here are a few ideas in which you may find useful. Lead with lines: To lead with lines into the main part of thescene will draw your viewer into your image. These lines don'thave to be straight. Lines, such as tracks, riverbanks orfences, may work successfully. Foreground interest: Simple foreground objects can give yourlandscape a greater sense of depth. Use a small aperture (f/22)to keep the entire scene in focus. Natural frames: Frame your scene with the elements all aroundyou. This will focus attention on the main part of the picture.Trees make great natural frames. These are just a few essential guidelines, and combined with agood eye, you have all you need to get the best out ofphotography - especially landscape photography. These are just afew rules to get you started, but like all rules, they are thereto be broken.
