Landscape Photography

1. I would go to google, google maps, weather, and tourist images

2. An app that would help me pick the best angle for a landscape photo is Photographer's Ephemeris.

3. If you shoot with telephoto lens or zoom it makes the foreground and background appear to be very close together.

4. Instead of using HDR you can use the improved raw-processing software such as Lightroom 6 to get the lighting back.

5. You should always bring a large waterproof plastic bag to put over the camera if it starts raining, a cleaning cloth for the camera lens, and a microfiber cloth to clean off the body of the camera.

6. Pre-scouting is helpful while shooting because it can give you more solid ideas of where to go to get the best angles and lighting. 

7. The subject is more important than the composition because it creates a better, more natural photo if the subject is the influence on the composition. 

8. The best way to create a simple but striking image is to take an image of the subject with not much else in the frame, so as not to distract the viewer from the main focus in the picture. 

9. Black and white is used when there is a heavy cloudy sky, or when there are white fluffy clouds in a bright blue sky.

10. You might want to go back to some place you've already shot because of the past knowledge you have of the area so you would have a better understanding of where would be good places to shoot.
