Landscape Photography Tips

Let the camera do the work!

Take the best image that you can at the time that you take it. Photoshop can now turn a so-so image into something that can look quite acceptable but that can result in deterioration of picture quality if the software has been used incorrectly e.g. over sharpening.  Don’t let the availability of corrective software make your image capture sloppy by thinking that you can fix problems when you get home.
