Landscape photography is a challenging genre that requires strong technique, the ability to forecast and adapt to conditions, creative vision, and a lot more. If you would like to improve your landscape images, check out this fantastic video tutorial that features an experienced photographer discussing eight tips that will help you create better, more compelling shots. 

Coming to you from Christian Irmler – Landscape Photography, this awesome video tutorial offers eight helpful tips for taking better landscape photos. If I could give any budding landscape photographer one piece of advice, it would be to not become too married to wide angle lenses. No doubt, there is a reason wide angle lenses are so popular, but they are not always the right choice. First, they can make the frame overly busy by including too many elements. Second, they make it difficult to manage the foreground, middleground, and background simultaneously. Don’t be afraid to bring along a longer lens and use it to create simpler and more direct compositions. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Irmler.
