If it’s been a while since you photographed a landscape, and you feel a little rusty, recap with our seven compositional tips.

How Should I Compose Landscapes?

Q I haven’t shot landscapes for some time and really want to get back into it. I remember there being lots of compositional rules that help produce more interesting images. Can you give me a quick recap?

Remember though, that these are guidelines rather than hard-and-fast rules, so don’t feel you have to stick to them if you have a good reason not to. And, of course, don’t attempt to include all seven at every single location. In reality, it’s likely that you’ll only need two or three to get a strong and impacting composition.
