Coming to you from Shrimp photoThis helpful video tutorial will show you seven common mistakes new landscape photographers make and how to fix them. By far the most common mistake I see new landscape photographers make is using only the wide angle lens. Undoubtedly, wide angle lenses are popular for good reason, but on the other hand, longer zoom lenses can help you pick out the individual elements of interest, simplifying complex compositions and create more abstract images.
