The purpose of landscape photography is to send a message about the environment and to share feelings created by nature.
In order to take a successful landscape photo, you want to use many of the same techniques as you would use when taking a portrait. You want good lighting, contrast, to use the rule of thirds, and adding other composition rules in order to increase the interest in your photo.

In this photo, I made it black and white, then added contrast. I think this does improve the photo. The original, with the color, looked boring and too monotone. It looked better after changing the color scheme, but still lacked interest. After adding contrast, I think this image is successful, but I would not consider it the most powerful it could be. |
