Shooting a landscape with digital photography is a lot different than shooting a person. For one thing you can't tell a mountain to smile and you can't make sure a forest is at its best on cue. The elements are what they are and it's up to you to get them at their most dramatic moment.

To reduce uncertainty about your landscape photo you might want to do a little research first. Scout out the place, look at maps, walk around, and see the area from every angle so you can get the most scenic area shot.

*Avoid is shooting mid-day. The sun at that time can cast dark shadows that could affect your landscape shot—and not in a positive way.
