Over the next 12 pages, we’ll delve deep into the best approaches for shooting stunning landscapes. We’ll show how bringing together the art of designing your image, shooting at the optimum time, and using tried-and trusted techniques to make sure your scenics technically hit the mark will ensure you’re never disappointed with your efforts. And we’ll touch on the other essential part of modern digital photography – polishing up those raw files to give every landscape photo you take maximum quality and visual impact.
While landscapes can be taken all year round, as autumn turns to winter, the shapes, structures and textures of the countryside become even more apparent. With the daylight hours shortening, too, sunrise and sunset also happen at a more civilised hour; so if you’re feeling inspired, grab your kit bag, put on your walking boots and waterproofs, and head for the hills.
