Foreword of landscape photography

We live in a magical age. Although I haven't been to these places, I can tell you what Mount Everest, Hailin Mountain, Gobi Desert in China, Desmo Marsh and even the moon are like. I can also tell their characteristics; I can also tell the texture of these places. I can do this because I have seen their beautiful landscape photos, which show their actual appearance and landscape characteristics.

Every place-every mountain, every forest, every desert and plain-has its own characteristics, atmosphere and personality. The job of landscape photographers is to inject this feeling into visual elements, and then try to capture and express this feeling. Seeing and thinking are the most important tools. Because in any kind of photography, knowing your subject matter and deciding what to describe is the key to success. Then, you must experiment, try to use different lenses and angles, different favorable photography points, and often look back for the light that can improve the atmosphere the most. Successful photos can make viewers feel the same as photographers, and their eyes and thoughts enter the landscape. Good landscape photos can give us a sense of place.

Apart from family, scenery may be our favorite thing. But they are also the most difficult to grasp. It is difficult to take a magnificent view with a small roll of film. In this book, you will explore creativity, composition, lighting and equipment. These factors are necessary to take beautiful scenery photos. You will also discuss the subject matter, shooting time and method. In addition, you will get some philosophical and practical skills from three photographers of the National Geographic Society. Their photos enable us to see the beautiful scenery around the world and encourage us to take many photos. Photography is the same as playing the piano, playing golf or other skills. The more you think and do, the greater your achievements will be. This book will be a springboard for you to explore the world around you through shooting.
