Landscape Preview

PART 1

Another element to consider is the sky in your landscape.

Most landscapes will either have a dominant foreground or sky – unless you have one or the other your shot can end up being fairly boring.
If you have a bland, boring sky – don’t let it dominate your shot and place the horizon in the upper third of your shot (however you’ll want to make sure your foreground is interesting). However if the sky is filled with drama and interesting cloud formations and colors – let it shine by placing the horizon lower.
Consider enhancing skies either in post production or with the use of filters (for example a polarizing filter can add color and contrast). This is my favorite tip on landscape photography.


PART 2

This is one thing that can be completely lost in even the most inspiring cityscape. Look for reference points in the foreground of your shot to define the scale of the city behind. Perhaps a boat in the harbor, or a stream of cars heading towards the city. Any of these will add both scale and dimension to your image. This is my favorite tip for cityscapes.





PART 3

Apocalypse Now by Miles Morgan


Frozen Forest by Evgeni Dinev


Deep Red by Marco Carmassi



PART 4
Some equipment i would need would be a lens capable of zooming in pretty far or even a wide angle... and a tripod.

I would go take this at night or during sunset by auditorium shores park or barton creek.
