Landscape Preview

1.  You can use Google maps to discover what the location looks like.
2. Photographers Emphasis is an app you can use to take better landscape photos.
3. The best laid lenses can be affected by fog, rain, or any other form of unexpected weather.
4. Instead of using HDR it would be better to use ND to capture the details of the ground and sky.
5. If there's bad weather you should bring a water proof plastic bag to cover your camera, cleaning clothes, and a microfiber towel.
6. It's good to pre-scout because there are most likely multiple appealing viewpoints.
7. It's always better to look at what you're shooting and make it look its best rather than focus on composition rules because they may not be able to be applied to your location.
8. You need to first choose what the main part of your photo should be, and then use that main subject to decide if other objects would work with the main subject while not taking away from it.
9. It is good to use black and white when the sky is clouded and the scene is already monochromatic and when there are fluffy clouds in a bright blue sky.
10. Its good to revisit locations because the lighting, weather, and time that goes by can all change the way the scene looks, meaning that you cant capture all a location in one shot.
