Having all this equipment will help you choose the right style of photography and will be useful in utilizing the tips to improve your photography.

2. Time your shoot

Although a lot of online photography courses free of cost but with nature being involved the climate and weather have a lot to do with your shoot, make sure you check the sunrise and sunset time to capture the most mesmerizing landscape. Choose the best possible light and angle. These are the things you can even learn from online photography courses free of cost. During the “golden hour” lighting is very warm which helps your pictures have greater depth and texture. You have to be patient with natural light.

3. Change shoot perspective With nature you do not only have 1 subject, but you also have multiple subjects in one frame, and you should make the most of this and even check out what your peers have done if you are a part of a professional photography community. Some of the best ways to shoot different perspectives are by climbing a vantage point, exploring the opposite side of the shoot venue, and crouching lower to the ground, taking an aerial shot, looking at the foreground from a different angle like the camera looking up the tree, etc. While many people take wide shots, consider taking a close-up shot.


4. Rule of thirds and depth of field
If you are shooting a landscape, the easiest way to compost an image is the rule of thirds technique that will help you position your frame along a grid. Some cameras come with visible grids that make shooting possible. In case your subject is an animal or a bird and needs separating from the background, use an f/2.0 or f/2.8 aperture that affects the “depth of field” directly. It causes the background to look blurrier. For real-time feedback, ask your mentors from your professional photography community and filter out great nature photography shots for your portfolio.
