    Shooting Landscapes can be a lot of fun. You can try the below when shooting Beautiful landscapes.

    • Try to get the horizon lines straight.
    • Try not to place the horizon line in the middle of the frame; avoid dividing image into 2 halves.
    • Try increasing contrast during post processing.
    • Saturate  the colors in post
    • Use a wide-angle lense to get more control over the perspective.
    • Try shooting Panoramas
    • Compose your frame really well.
    • Make your images aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
    • Try converting the landscapes into Black and white sometimes.
    • Make sure to hold your camera straight.
    • Landscapes can be shot in vertical frames too.

    Comments: Very nice image Amrita. The top angle worked wonders. I love the saturated blue in your landscape. In fact you have a very nice tonal rage of blues (different shades of blues). The image has been composed well. Overall a very good  image.
    Congratulation Amrita, Hope to see you at the Workshop !!!

    Comment: This image is very nice. Fire crackers make an interesting subject to shoot. You have managed to achieve a great flow of pattern with light. Something that makes me very happy is that you have completely filled your frame with the fire work. This leaves no unused space. Also the composition works great. Good capture Jyoti.
    Thumbs up for you Jyoti !! Read More | Comments
