1. Move around a scene.
2. If you are photographing at a high position reduce to a low position.
3. Similarly if you are at a low height raise up to a higher level.
4. Angles of view, shoot from a low position straight up for trees, flowers, corn,
waterfalls, try to include sun stars.
5. Pick a focal point, walk around in a wide arc examining all view points and angles
to find the best to suit the scene.
6. Shoot from a high perspective to reduce background distractions.
7. Shoot from a low perspective to make an element in the scene look bigger then
it actually is.
Note: Always remember that while the photograph you are currently taking
may be good a truly remarkable one may be only ten feet to your left
or right.
Below is an example of this,
Rush South beach County Dublin, after picking a composition that
I thought would be pretty good I set up my tripod and camera and
waited for the sky to work it's magic, but with the sun rising I was
disappointed with the colour in the sky.
Walking just 10 feet to my left the colours in the sky exploded out
at my with the reflections being cast into the rock pool. Two
photographs from the same location at the same time with only
ten feet difference in my positions.
Amplify size in your landscape image
1. Use a wide angle lens.
2. Position yourself so there is something in front
of you in the foreground, a rock, a tree, a bush
or flower.
3. Get in nice and close to this subject.
4. Take your photograph.
When you take the shot it makes it look as though
there is a lot of distance between that object and
the objects in the background, this gives you a huge
sense of scope.
