What is a landscape picture?  Might you say….scenery…the outdoors…nature…might you even say it shows some space within God’s beauty and creation!

1

Choose your subject.

Is your subject the mountains? the beach? the fence? the barn? the sunset? or the sunrise?  Before you can captivate with your image, you first have to decide what your subject is.

Got that?

ok lets move on…

2

Tell as much of the story as possible.  

Ask yourself what story are you trying to tell?  the busy streets of Europe?  the calm and  serene lake with lifting fog?  or the pasture in front of the mountains full of cows?  I don’ know what story you are telling, but get as much of the story in a wide angle view as possible…WITHOUT distractions!  Distractions being a random house that’s not a part of your story, a random car that may not compliment your image or even a power line running through the image!

lastly…

3

Have a foreground to your landscape picture.

If you can place a foreground to your landscape picture it will be a much stronger image that will captivate your viewer and will intrigue them…they may even want to be at this place, it could give them a spark to travel and become adventurous!  You will make your image stronger.
