Composition in landscape photography can be very subtle and tricky. If this is something you struggle with, this excellent video tutorial gives you nine guidelines that can help you improve the compositions of your landscape photos.


This video tutorial comes from Photo Tom and gives you lots of useful tips and guidelines for better landscape photo compositions. Composition can be difficult and complicated, but with practice you can create stronger, more engaging images.

It can really help to learn how to simplify your shots. Don't try to cram as much of a scene as possible into an image just because you don't want to leave anything out. One way to create more minimalist compositions is to use longer focal lengths more often.

It's easy to use standard wide-angle lenses for landscape work, but a longer focal length can help you pick out interesting details or more abstract compositions that can give you a unique and personal perspective. Watch the video above for more information.
