12 Landscapes

Each landscape shot should have a definite point of interest.
[Check out "Landscape Photography Tips" and keep in mind the following:
  1. Try placing your point of interest according to the rule of thirds.
  2. Don't place your horizon across the middle of the scene. A third of the way from the top or bottom is best, depending on the sky, or the ground.
  3. Be aware of foreground, and consider information that supports/enhances the primary interest.
    Consider using framing in your shot if appropriate.
