Contemporary Landscape Photography Tips For Beginners

By Rosella Campbell


Taking really beautiful pictures of scenery and landscape is one of the most well loved hobbies of most people. Now if one would want to go into contemporary landscape photography, then there are some things that he would have to take note of. Here are some really good tips that will be able to help.

Now one of the most important things to take of when taking a good photograph would be to know when is the right time to capture the photo. Of course this would depend on what kind of picture the photographer would want to take. Most photographers would take pictures at either dawn or dusk so that they can get the best lighting.

One of the most important concepts in landscape photography would be the focal point. This is a very important concept to learn about because this would decide whether the picture will look good or not. Basically, the focal point is the center of the shot or otherwise known as the dead center.

Now a tip on getting a good focal point would be to chop the picture up into four parts with the focal point as the center of these four parts. Now it is best for photographers to make sure that the focal point is a rather empty spot with the four parts all having some scenery in them. This technique is often used by beginner photographers in knowing how to locate that focal point.

Now another tip that most photographers would take note of would be to buy themselves a polarising filter. The reason that they would often make use of these filters is to make sure that the color saturation and contrast of the picture is better. Now this would also help take out the glare that comes when there is too much light.

Now if one would want to take pictures of seascape like beaches or cliffs, then what a lot of photographers would do would be to use slow exposure in order to take the water. This would produce a rather milky looking effect on the water that is really beautiful to look at. Now if one would want to use this kind of slow exposure, he has to use a tripod so that the camera is sturdy otherwise he will not be able to get that milky effect.

Another tip for photographers who would take pictures of landscape would be to use some ND filters when trying to find a balance between the brightness of the land and the sky. Since the exposure of the land and sky is different, it would affect how the picture would look. So in order to have a good balance, it is advisable to use some Nd filters while taking pictures of landscapes that would have some sky in it.

So as one can see, there are a lot of things to take note of when going into landscape photography. Unlike other fields of photography, this one specially deals with very big spaces and needs some special attention. However, these tips will be able to help beginners know how to handle the ropes when starting out.
