Wide-angle lenses are the tool of choice for many landscape photography, but such focal lengths can also be particularly difficult to deal with. This great video tutorial features an experienced landscape photographer who shows you how to create a more effective composition using a wide-angle lens.
Coming to you from Nigel DansonThis great video tutorial will show you how to create more compelling landscape compositions when working with a wide-angle lens. Wide angle lens popular because we often want to capture all the beauty of the landscape in one frame, but what makes them difficult to handle is that they tend to push the background away and shrink in size. This means that without a foreground element, the image feels very empty and two-dimensional. The foreground element restores a sense of depth to the image and provides the viewer with a natural entry point from which they can move through the middle and background. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Danson.
