Landscape Photography Tricks & Tips: 19th Edition (2024)

Landscape photography rewards more than a beautiful view: the way a scene is framed, the quality of its light and the photographer’s point of view all help shape the final image. Landscape Photography Tricks & Tips pairs visual inspiration with practical projects for exploring those choices outdoors.

Look beyond the obvious view

The publication places landscape photography in a broader artistic context, noting how painters and photographers have approached the world around them. Its discussion draws attention to composition, framing, lighting and colour—creative considerations that can help a photographer look at a familiar scene with fresh intent.

Ideas to take into the field

Among the projects are landscape shoots spanning different conditions and times of day, including night photography, sunrise and sunset. The material encourages readers to try varied approaches rather than relying on one familiar kind of view.

A different perspective, quite literally

A featured example explores crystal-ball photography: using a clear glass sphere as an additional optical element to capture the surrounding landscape in a distinctive way. The discussion considers how placement and distance can change the effect, making this an intriguing exercise in experimenting with perspective.

For photographers who like to practise

With inspirational images alongside project-led material, this guide is suited to landscape photographers who want to spend time observing, experimenting and making pictures of their own. Its emphasis is on developing an individual eye—not simply collecting views, but thinking about how to present them.

Take the ideas outside, try a different angle, and see what the landscape offers when you slow down and look again. 📷
