If you are trying to improve your landscape photography, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are my top six tips for photographers who want to take better landscape photos.
#1 - Master Technique
Sound technique is the foundation upon which you build your photographs. A landscape photographer needs to know how to create perfectly exposed, pin-sharp images. If you can't do that, everything that follows will be compromised.

#2 - Research Locations
The more you understand your subject, the easier it is to photograph. A landscape photographer needs to know how to find interesting subjects that make interesting photos. If you can't do that, you will be stuck with boring photos.

#3 - Study Composition
The primary aim of composition is to highlight what is important in the scene. A landscape photographer needs to know how to direct the eye of the viewer. If you can’t do that, you’ll struggle to draw attention to your work.

#3 - Plan Your Photography
Nothing beats being in the right place at the right time. A landscape photographer needs to know how to match the subject to the conditions. If you can't do that, you'll never be able to capture the landscape when it’s looking its best.

#5 - Tell Stories
Photography is less about what you see and more about what you feel. A landscape photographer needs to know how to tell stories that evoke feelings and emotions. If you can’t do that, your photos will lack impact.

#6 - Embrace Post-Production
Post-production is an essential step in the photographic process. A landscape photographer needs to know how to use software such as Adobe Lightroom to emphasise the beauty in the landscape. If you can’t do that, your photos will never reach their full potential.
