Beginner Landscape Photography Tips

Falling into the category of beginner landscape photography is an exciting and even daunting period for every photographer.  The path from beginner to master has a few common stops in landscape photography.  For one, every beginner landscape photographer must learn to shoot with his or her camera properly. They need to understand exposure, aperture, focus, and other technical aspects. Furthermore, landscape photographers need to work with different camera lenses, filters, light, and weather in various environments.

Along with learning to shoot, post-processing is more accessible than ever with digital cameras and the assortment of photo editing software options. Just a few basic post-processing techniques can elevate photos to a whole new level.  Visual Wilderness’ articles, ebooks, and tutorials outline the best practices for creating a photography workflow.
