Capturing the gloriousness of nature is often surprisingly one of the easiest forms of photography. There are no people involved when taking pictures of a field of blooming flowers or a wave crashing onto a lonely beach, and sometimes all you have to do is set up camp and wait for the perfect moment. Of course, there’s often far more to it than just this, but if you’re still curious then keep reading to discover more on this Landscape Photography Course.

While the settings can prove easy to photograph, you’ll need to learn the advanced tips and techniques taught through this course before you’re ready to set out alone. You will first learn what sort of gear to take with you, which can depend on a multitude of factors, and how to plan your trip. After passing this, it’s time to focus on the photography, from setting up your camera and using various filters to finding the most visually striking locations. You will be taught how to shoot panoramas and wide and telephoto pictures, and the course includes lessons on shooting at different times of day and night.

But taking a good picture isn’t quite enough – editing is just as crucial a part of landscape photography as anything else. That’s why two of the five modules focus on this, providing you with a crash course on the industry-leading image editing software Adobe Lightroom. Here you can learn how to remove unwanted objects from your photos, straighten horizons and stitch together photos.
