Taking great landscape pictures can seem so easy compared to shooting action photography or taking pictures of children or animals. However, any photographer that’s lugged their equipment to the top of a beautiful vista only to end up with sub-par photos can tell you that there’s a lot more to great landscape photography than simply showing up.
Landscape photography it’s all about the details. The more you can shove into your image, the better it’s going to look. Detail and depth of field are both increased by longer exposure times, so try to use the highest F-stop value (22 on most cameras) whenever possible. This will allow less light into the camera and give you more flexibility in exposing the film. A slower ISO film (around 100) will also help to pull more visual data, but be aware that slow films may not be the best for all lighting situations.
Keep it Steady
While, in landscape photography, slower shutter speeds will add to your detail and depth of field, lengthening the exposure time has its own risks. Even the most steady-handed of photographers begin to run the risk of hand “shake” blur at a shutter speed of about 125, so skip this headache altogether and mount your camera on a tripod, sandbag, or flat rock.

If you want to know how to take good photos you are going to have to pay attention to a couple of things. I’ll give you some tips on what you’ll need to focus on.
How to take good photos – Tip #1: Lines
The next time you’re out on a trip or when you just want to take some photographs keep an eye out for any interesting lines you see. When you look at a photograph your eyes will automatically follow the main lines of the photograph. Use this to your advantage. Let’s use a highway as an example. If you want to convey depth in a picture of a highway stand right in the middle of it ( preferably when there’s no traffic of course) and take a picture of the two lines on the side of the highway converging in the distance.
