Almost every beginner photographer dreams to photograph a dramatic landscape such as a great sunset. Scale is important in landscape. A wide look is most impressive if there is something to relate to such as a person, house or an animal. A great panoramic photo should include foreground detail to make the viewers eye sweep into the horizon.

Usually amateur photographers mistakenly think that a wide-angle lens is the best landscape lens. The truth is that telephoto lenses are more effective. Tips Choose a good landscape location and shoot it in different time of the day and seasons. Learn the local weather patterns.

Equipment for landscape photography:
• Selection of lenses including wide angle and telephoto lenses
• Heavy tripod
• Compass to find sunsets and sunrises
• Binoculars
• Filters, polarizing filter and red filter for black and white photography
• Panoramic camera and panoramic tripod (rotating head)
