Landscapes

1. On the internet, you could go to a website that tells about the place you are planning to shoot so that you can get all the important information like the the lighting, weather, and temperature so that you can know the best time to shoot.

2. Google Maps is a good app to have downloaded because it shows you what places look like from a street view as well as a bird eye view so that you know what a place really looks like.

3. One of the biggest problems when shooting with a wide lens is that there could not be a defined focal point when in a busy area like a forest.

4. The website suggests using an ND Grad Filter instead of using an HDR Image.

5. A strong, waterproof, plastic bag, cleaning cloths for the lens, and suitable clothing are all key items to have with you if you might encounter bad weather while trying to shoot.

6. Pre-scouting an area can help when you're about to shoot because you can see all of the possible viewpoints and pick which one would be the best to shoot.

7. Composition is more important in landscape photography than the subject.

8. The website suggests that, in order to decide which elements should be left out, is that you should decide what the main focus is, and then one at a time add in other aspects that will fit into the frame but still while not distracting from the main focus.

9. You might want to consider using a black and white image if the weather is bad and the color of the sky/clouds weren't what you wanted them to be.

10. You might want to revisit a site that you've already shot because you won't have to spend so much time looking around to find the best view point since you would have done that the first time, and you could be able to shoot something that you could have missed the first time you were there.
