Landscapes can be amongst the most emotive and beautiful of all photographs if shot well. The problem is that landscape photography<\/a> is not easy and a bad landscape will just look like a regular snapshot rather than a crafted image. Newcomers to landscape photography will often get frustrated with their results, perhaps to the point of giving up. However, there are some quite common and easily rectified mistakes<\/a> that are often made. Today we are going to take a look at five of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crooked Horizon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing turns a potential great landscape into a snapshot easier than a crooked horizon. It\u2019s simple to make this mistake, especially when shooting from a tripod. Bending down to the viewfinder at an angle is a chief cause of this issue but the solution is simple and effective. Virtually all modern cameras can display a virtual horizon both on the LCD and often in the viewfinder. This is basically an electronic spirit level that shows the angle of the camera relative to the horizon. It is usually found amongst the display settings of your camera and is an invaluable tool. If for some reason your camera does not have this setting, get yourself a cheap, real photographic spirit level. They are virtually infallible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
