When we think of landscape photography, our minds are commonly drawn towards wide angle images of vast expanses, and while those can make for some jaw-dropping images, they are not the only compelling photos you can make. Looking for the smaller details can open up an entirely new world, and this helpful video tutorial will show you how to do just that.
Coming to you from Adam Gibbs, this awesome video tutorial discusses how to find and photograph smaller details in landscape photography, particularly in forests. I think this is an important skill for two big reasons. First, landscape photography is absolutely inundated with the traditional wide angle shots; thus, it can be tricky to distinguish yourself from the crowd. As such, shots of smaller details can immediately help you stand out a bit. Second, landscape photography often requires significant physical commitment and effort simply to get to a location, so the more shots you can get from one area, the better. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Gibbs.
