Contrast, sometimes there\u2019s too much, sometimes there\u2019s too little. Contrast in a landscape can make or break the image. But getting the perfect contrast for a landscape shot can sometimes be difficult. Do we aim to have the natural contrast of the scene in front of us or do we opt to modify that contrast to achieve the look we want?<\/p>\n
When shooting a landscape it's important to have in mind the end result that you wish to obtain. Only then can you adapt your shooting style to get that. You also need to determine whether the current contrast in the scene is high or low as the shooting techniques will be different for either.<\/p>\n
There are some times we might want to embrace low contrast in our landscapes. Examples include misty or foggy days. Other times though, such as harsh light and low overcast, we might want to boost the contrast to improve the punch of the image.<\/p>\n
