26 Tips to Improve Your Landscape Photography

Last Updated: August 9th, 2019

While I have devoted much of my time spent behind a camera to photographing people, my ultimate guilty pleasure has always been landscape photography. It’s always appealed to me — even since I picked up my first camera at a young age. It has always enabled me to take a step back and really take in the nature around me — and over the years has even breathed fresh air into parks and nature trails I’ve visited hundreds of times in my life.

At it’s core, landscapes are a simple subject — and the best images are often the result of things outside of the camera like the lighting, weather, and just being in the right place at the right time. It’s this simplicity that I love — the lack of a need for staging or window dressing.

As I’ve explored landscape photography as a passionate hobby, it’s led me to some interested places around the world. I’ve learned that it really is about more than just “taking pictures” — and I’m sure if you’re wanting to better hone your skills, you likely feel the same way.

In this post, I’ve put together a collection of tips for getting the best possible landscape photos on your own. Some things you may already know, but quite a few come directly from my own experiences. If you learn something by the end of it, let me know in the comments!
