Trip Notes - 10 Tips & Tricks for Lanscape Photography

About a sense of scale

Too many landscape images lack a sense of scale. Sure, everyone knows a tree is a tree but bear in mind that trees range from under a metre tall to over a hundred metres in height. Thus, other more recognizable objects need to be used in order to convey a sense of scale in one's images. Cars and human figures, not to mention dogs are great subjects for a photographer to include in order to relay a sense of scale.
Look out for the obvious if only in order to avoid it
The sure way to create an insipid photograph is to be conventional. To me, no experience is more painful than looking through an entire collection of "pretty" images. Sure, that sunset looks great, but the next time you get ready to release that shutter in front of a beautiful sunset, remind yourself that just about every photographer out there has a variant of that image you are about to make. Challenge yourself. Trying to make great memorable images during occasions of inclement weather is but one way you can do so. Trying to photograph a place familiar to you in a way you have never seen is another good exercise to try.
