Coming to you from Photo Tom, this awesome video tutorial will give you nine great bits of advice for new landscape photographers. If I could give a beginner landscape photographer any bit of advice, it would be to not get locked into using only wide angle lenses. They are certainly useful for the genre, but on the other hand, they can challenging from a compositional perspective.
