What are the basic elements of taking a landscape photo?

Light is the most important element in landscape photography. Photos taken in amazing places under the strong light at noon will look very dull. At the perfect moment when the light becomes magical, the photo will become unique and unforgettable.

Second, the main objectives

When you come to a place, you should first consider what caught your attention and take it as the theme. This doesn't mean that you can't switch to other objects in the future, but if there are too many objects in the scene, none of them will become the main objects. If the photos are too general, they will not arouse people's interest.

Third, the concise background.

In addition to the main object, the content behind it is also very important. Chaos and interference may destroy the good shooting effect, which is an important place for perspective. You need to find an angle to shoot, so as to avoid clutter in the background, that is, you can climb very high and shoot from top to bottom, so that the background is only full of one texture. Or, you can fly very low and shoot up to make the background fill the sky.

Fourth, interesting composition.

The artist starts with a blank canvas and adds elements one by one, but the scene seen by the photographer is full of details, and the elements must be deleted until only the necessities are left. Then, these elements should be positioned to create interesting graphic designs.
