The extent to which someone will go to take a good landscape photo varies. Some will travel to the right destination, wait hours in the one spot for the clouds to make just the right formation or the sun to shine at just the right brightness, whilst carrying an array of lenses, filters, a tripod and maybe more than one camera.
Another keen photographer might just find themselves in the right place at the right time. They’ll pull out their phone and take just one shot that gets printed and displayed in pride of place in their office or home living room, with the photographer always keen to tell the story that surrounds the magical moment.
However, nature presents itself in so many ways that it can take a lifetime trying to master the art of photographing just a waterfall, the night sky or a sunrise or sunset.
So without getting too technical, here are 8 things to consider when taking landscape photos:
Print 2 Metal has had the opportunity to print award-winning land and seascape images (mainly of the Mornington Peninsula) for photographer Murray Thompson. Murray is passionate about the beauty of the coastline, and it’s varying weather and extremes. He uses Canon professional cameras, high quality German lenses and filters to bring fine detail to his large panoramic images. His choice to print to high grade metal gives a stunning appeal to his large pictures, and a clean edge for a modern look.
