What Makes a Good
Landscape Photograph (Lesson One)
Judging
photography is purely subjective; one person will find an image breathtaking while another
may find the same image dull or unimaginative. These lessons will assume you know the
basics of determining exposure through a TTL meter or hand-held meter and understand how
shutter speed, aperture, film speed, and the amount of available light affect how you
determine exposure. These lessons instead will help you create more dramatic,
aesthetically composed landscape photographs using natural light. |

formats (35mm, 4x5, etc), manufacturers, basic features essential to landscape

landscape photograph from choosing a lens and incorporating elements of graphic design for

and water in your final image.
*Graphic design in composition
*Choosing a lens

natural world to achieve dramatic photographs.
