Like many of you, I love getting outdoors and enjoying the open spaces and taking time out to photograph amazing landscapes.
There are few very basic techniques which can really help improve the quality of your images. Check out these tips and give them a try next time you're out on a shoot.
1. Use a tripod - Will stabilise your camera and allow the use of slower shutter speeds.
2. Use a cable release or remote control - helps minimise vibration and therefore contributes to a sharper image. No cable release or remote control - use your self timer instead.
3. Use mirror lockup - Again helps minimise vibration and results in a sharper image. On many cameras Live View works in a similar way so that when you activate the shutter the mirror is already up out of the way and there is just a tiny click of the actual shutter.
4. Compose using the good old 'Rule of Thirds'. 1/3 foreground 2/3 background or vice versa really does work to help create a more balanced image. There will always be exceptions, of course, but more often or not the 'rule' works.
5. Add some foreground interest or use leading lines to lead you into the image.
6. Have fun out there!
