Scouting Locations
Research and scouting are essential to find interesting and visually appealing locations. Knowing the best times for lighting conditions and understanding the natural features of an area contribute to successful landscape photography.
Golden Hour
The golden hour, occurring during sunrise and sunset, provides soft and warm lighting, enhancing the colors and textures of the landscape. Many nature photographers prefer shooting during these times for the most flattering light.
Composition
Composition is crucial in landscape photography. Techniques such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing can help create visually compelling images. Experiment with different compositions to find what works best for the scene.
