Helpful Tips for Improving Your Landscape Photography, Especially When You're Rusty

Any sort of photography, regardless of the genre, gets all the more difficult when you have been out of practice for a while. If you have not been out with your camera for a bit, this helpful tutorial will give you some great tips to get back in the saddle. 

Coming to you from First Man Photography, this great video tutorial discusses some tips for improving your landscape photography, particularly if you have not been out in a while (which is probably the case for a lot of us given all the lockdowns). Whenever I have not been out with my camera for a period of time and I first head out, I find the thing I struggle with most is composition. Technical command and quick reactions come back pretty easily, but I find myself falling into cliché, obvious images a lot of the time. Knowing I have that tendency, I try to stay aware of it and think through my compositions especially carefully when picking up my camera for the first time in a bit. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
