I'm never tried to capture landscapes past few years, but some force pushes me to go next level yes my loving brother " Dom Lim ". He encourages me to lean the beauty of landscapes and explore the world to showcase how much depth I can travel through landscape photography. On his word " When a photographer hides his ability and says I'm limited with this task, then he is not an ideal photographer.

There’s something about getting out in nature with the challenge of capturing some of the incredible beauty that you see. Perhaps it fits with my personality type – but I loved the quietness and stillness of waiting for the perfect moment for the shot, scoping out an area for the best vantage point and then seeing the way that the light changed a scene over a few hours.

While I don’t get as much time as I’d like for Landscape Photography the moment quicker and not stable for a long – But I thought my experiments and experience would help all of you the next time engage with landscape workshop. While there may be times that you want to get a little more creative and experiment with narrow depth of fields in your Landscape Photography – the standard approach is to ensure that as much of your scene is in focus as possible. The simplest way to do this is to choose a small Aperture setting (a large number) as the lower your aperture, the higher the depth of field in your shots.

Do keep in mind that smaller apertures mean less light is hitting your image sensor at any point in time so they will say you need to compensate either by increasing your ISO or lengthening your shutter speed (or both) meantime when you can get some great results with a very shallow DOF in a landscape setting.

As a result of the longer shutter speed that you may need to select to compensate for a small aperture, you will need to find a way of ensuring your camera is completely still during the exposure. Even if you’re able to shoot at a fast shutter speed the practice of using a tripod can be beneficial to you. Also consider a cable or wireless shutter release mechanism for extra camera stillness, here I'm used 10s timer system of DSLR.

All shots need some focal point to them and landscapes are no different landscape photographs without them end up looking empty and will leave your viewers eye wondering through the image with nowhere to rest (and they’ll generally move on quickly). Focal points can take many forms in landscapes and could range from a building or structure, a striking tree, a boulder or rock formation, etc.

Think not only about what the focal point is but where you place it. The rule of thirds might be useful here. One element that can set apart your landscape shots is to think carefully about the foreground of your shots and by placing points of interest in them. When you do this, you give those viewing the ball away into the image as well as creating a sense of depth in your shot.

When most people think about landscapes they feel of calm, serene and passive environments – however, landscapes are rarely completely still and to convey this movement in an image will add drama, mood and create a point of interest. Examples – wind in trees, waves on a beach, water flowing over a waterfall, birds flying overhead, moving clouds.

Capturing this movement generally means you need to look at a longer shutter speed (sometimes quite a few seconds). Of course, this means more light is hitting your sensor which will say you need to either go for a small Aperture, use some filter or even shoot at the start or end of the day when there is less light..

I have chatted with brother " Dom Lim ". also viewed other landscape photographers tutors on You-tube and finally well inquired experienced my big brother "Syam Nair" [ photographer from kerala] what the best time for capture is. They have shared the best knowledge in my life that never shoots during the day time for best creatures. Keep patient and wait for the right time around dawn and dusk – because that’s when the light is best and all of them find that landscapes come alive.

These ‘golden’ hours are great for landscapes for some reasons – none the least of which is the ‘golden’ light that it often presents us with. The other reason that I love these times is the angle of the sun and how it can impact a scene – creating exciting patterns, dimensions, and textures. Most of my pictures in my gallery I have captured during the golden hours and hope all of you happy with my Landscape experience and the tips which I have learned to improve my professional career.
