Composition is a tricky and intricate aspect of landscape photography, and though there are no hard and fast rules, there are lots of great tricks and guidelines that can help you on your way. This helpful video will show you seven great tricks to improve your landscape image compositions.
Coming to you from Nigel Danson, this excellent video will show you seven tricks for quickly improving the compositions of your landscape photos. Composition can be a subtle thing and difficult to work on, as unlike parameters like exposure, it cannot be objectively quantified. Nonetheless, it is something we can absolutely work to improve. One thing that I have found helps a lot is to constantly strive to simplify compositions. This means often thinking in a subtractive manner. We often approach composition in an additive manner, trying to include more things for balance, but on the other hand, thinking about stripping down to the bare essentials can often result in stronger, more compelling images. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Danson.
