[|BMcGinn Google Drive] BMcGinn Resource Images [|BMcGinn Landscape Article] **__Synopsis:__** Taking Landscape photos can be a very difficult thing if you do not know how to do it. There are many small and tedious things you should to try and make your photography as good as it can possibly be. Those things are maximizing the depth of field, using a tripod, looking for a focal point, thinking about your foreground, considering the sky, using lines to draw they eye, capturing movement in a way that does not unfocus the picture, working with the weather, using the golden hours to make the light look good, using the horizon as a reference point, and changing your point of view of the same landscape. It is a lot to look for and use in a picture, but the more careful you are with all of these ideas, the better your landscapes will be because landscape photography is much different than other photography, so it takes practice, but these tools will help the transition be much easier.
