How to improve the level of scenery photography (4)

9. Shooting in the golden time

   When I chatting with a photographer recently, he told me that do not shooting at daytime . He just shoots at dawn and dusk . Because at that time ,the light is the best . And he find that the scenery photos can be “alive” at that time.

   Theses “golden” times are the best times for shooting scenery and portrait. Because that is the time the “golden light” show up . Another reason I like these times is that the angle of light and the scene effect of light -- produce the alive background and levels and vein.

10. Consider the horizon

   It's a cliche, but it still works. First of all, when you start shooting scenery photography, thinking of the placement of the horizon from the two points .

   Is the horizon straight? Although you always can adjust it through a variety of tools later. Done it when shooting would be more simple.

   Where the horizon should be when compositing? The general composition is to place the horizon in one third of the image, (one third, or a third below) instead of the center of the image. This is not certain, of course, you can break the rules, but I find that unless they are special and amazing photos. The third law (rule of third) is always applicate.

11. change the Angle you observed

   When you find a scene worthy to shoot , get out of the car and open the camera, climbed over the fence, put the camera up to the eyes, choose a different focal length. And then before you getting to another site , click the shutter.

   We will all do so -- but that does not let me get the kind of attractive photos.

   Spend more time on photography, trying to find more points of interest. May be you can start from looking for a different location (walk the path, looking for a new point of view), on the ground to shoot in a low Angle . Or find a high that good for shooting.

   To explore the surrounding environment, and varied from different angles you will find something really unique. Or using collage making software or photo montage at then end, you can also get some different ideas.
