Coming to you from Julian Elliott Photography, this excellent video discusses seven tips to craft better compositions in your landscape photos. Composition can be a rather tricky thing. It was certainly the issue I struggled with most when I first started (and continue to work on today). Personally, my biggest struggle with landscape composition has always been focal length. I tend to default to using a wide angle lens to just shoot the entire scene all in one frame, but I have to always remind myself that there is often a stronger composition to be found by excluding some elements through the use of a longer focal length. And while there are no hard and fast rules, there are common guidelines that can help you create better images. Check out the video above for lots of helpful tips.
