Light is the very essence of not just photography, but of life itself. Here we discuss how to get the best from light in the different situations we find ourselves in. We also look at the importance of finding the right perspective which allows us to formulate some beautiful compositions.

Composition is by far the biggest barrier to capturing great images for most photographers. Here we take a detailed look at composition including developing our own approach and how we can improve our skills. We look at composition rules such as the rule of thirds and how to apply the golden spiral to create some vibrant and exciting images.

Planning is a key part of the landscape photography process. Proper planning allows us to make the most of the shooting conditions and keeps us safe when venturing into the outdoors. Here we look at various apps and websites that will help to streamline the process.

Printing is possibly the most important part of the photography process. It is where we bring the work to life to become a genuine piece or artwork. Here we simplify the process whether we are printing in a lab or printing images ourselves at home.

In the chapter we look at the camera gear that will maximise the creative possibilities in our landscape photography. We pay particular attention to lens choice and how we can best use particular focal length ranges to our benefit.

Landscape photography is a broad subject and any location can provide opportunities to make great images. Here we discuss how to get the best out of landscapes such mountain scenes, woodland, seascapes and moorland.

Art is a form of communication so it makes sense that when our work is complete, we share it with the world. However putting yourself out there is difficult and can be a barrier for many. Here we discuss a variety of ways we can share our work including tips on how to build an audience online.

Long exposure is an exciting technique that we can apply to our work. It provides a unique perspective of the natural world beyond what we normally experience. Here we explain exactly how to create some stunning long exposure images from start to finish.
