Coming to you from Mike Smith, this great video tutorial will show you a common mistake made by landscape photographers with wide angle lenses and how to correct it. The common experience is to find a good position and instinctively approach the wide-angle lens to try to capture the entire scene in one frame, but the results are disappointing. This usually happens because of the lack of a foreground element. A wide-angle lens tends to push the background away and so, without a foreground element, the frame tends to be very empty and too two-dimensional. If you change your approach using such a lens from the default of converting multiple scenes into a single frame and instead use it to create multi-layered compositions, you will likely see your results. greatly improved. Check out the video above for the full summary from Smith.
