I was flicking around a few sites today, following links just to see if I could pick up a few photography tips and I noticed a link on the stockvault blog that took me to Denver Wang’s 6 tips for landscape photography and I found it quite useful, so I thought I’d share it.

Landscape photography is something I try from time to time but don’t really confess to knowing how best to tackle it. I get a bit bored of seeing landscape shots that don’t make me go ‘WOW!’ and that I think is what a landscape photo needs to do. I have to admit that most of my landscape shots fall into the boring category but occasionally I have a moment of luck where I get a shot that has at least a small bit of wow factor.

I think the best tip amongst the 6 from Denver Wang is to keep it simple. Trying to get too much into the picture can end up with an image that is too cluttered, too much for the eye to settle on and an image that just doesn’t feel quite right.

From a stock point of view, keeping things simple also means that there is often a lot of space that can be used by a publisher for text and other things making it a more attractive image to the person looking for one to buy.
