When it comes to landscape photography, the lens of choice is normally a wide angle. You can create fantastic images with them, but they come with their own challenges as well. This excellent video tutorial will show you how to get the most out of your wide angle lens when shooting landscape images.
Coming to you from Andrew Marr, this awesome video tutorial will show you how to get more out of your wide angle lens, particularly when shooting landscape photos. By far, the most common mistake I see landscape photographers make when using a wide angle lens is not including a foreground subject of some sort. The problem is that wide angle lenses tend to push the background away, and without something in the foreground, the image can end up feeling a bit empty. It does not need to be anything big; often, just a well-placed rock or flower that gives the viewer’s eye a place to enter the photo can do the trick. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Marr.
