7 Helpful Tips to Improve Your Landscape Photos

Creating a successful landscape photo takes the confluence of a wide range of factors, such as technique behind the camera, creative vision, understanding of the elements, and post-processing capabilities. If you are looking to improve your own photos, this helpful video tutorial features seven tips that should get you to where you want to go.

Coming to you from Photo Tom, this great video tutorial discusses seven tips for improving your landscape images. One thing that helped me quite a bit was learning to preconceive photos, particularly with regards to planning for the elements. Sure, it can be a lot of fun to just head out with your camera, and you can absolutely create awesome images in the moment, but if you have a certain photo in mind, it will take consideration of things like the time of day, the weather forecast, how the shadows and light will fall on the local topography, and more. Luckily, with today's technology, there are a lot of tools available to make that process much easier, such as the app Photo Pills. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
