Landscape photography
We shall start with a good example, it’s always best to start off on the right foot!
When photographing a Landscape composition is the biggest thing you should be thinking about. Have a good look through the view finder. What are you photographing? is it obvious, what might be obvious to you might not to others and when you show your friends they see something else you will get all offended!
The photograph above has hopefully followed the rules “Rule of Thirds” a little anyway 
This is a bad landscape
I was photographing the mountains can you tell? You can’t? You thought I was photographing the field or maybe the sky, who knows eh. If you like soil you will love this photograph. For me this is a bad example of a Landscape I have no idea what the subject it, I am just looking at the soil which pulls my focus and then I see sky, the heavy row of trees distracts from the mountains behind it’s all just wrong!
Then you see a beautiful mountain sticking out like a pin on a cushion it’s amazing so you photograph it.
You’re caught in the moment, forgetting pylons and weather stations on top of beautiful mountain, the grass in the lower part of the photograph is distracting.
Slow down! Look around you, relax. Unless you are in a mad rush you’re better off taking your time and coming home with 2 amazing pictures then none at all. The way I was taught was imagine your photo in print does it look the way you want it to?
These are the French Pyrenees we were on route to Lourdes which is an extremely weird and wonderful place!
