Tomorrow I’m off to a near woodland to shoot autumn woodland landscape scenes. Any tips or tricks that I can try to get the perfect photograph?

Thanks!

my suggestion is not to take as many photos as you can. i use to do that and end up going thro so many bad potographs that I didn’t like anyone of them and never shared them.

The best tip i can say is look around think about the landscape you want to shoot. before you go or on your journey there write down some key words. Trail, animal, large open space, unique trees, just to help give you a focus when your out there. Now that don’t mean you can’t shoot somethign else just one of the key words will be your perfect photograph.
while your walking look for the key words when you find one ask. How can I get the most impact from this trail. it’s a straight and narrow trail maybe I should find one that goes down hill and has some switchbacks. line up a shot and see it but don’t click it yet.
ask yourself while looking.
how is the sky is it over blown? in view finder you most liekly won’t see this. but ask yourself anyway. (key is to be mindful of what is going on)
ask yourself my what is my main subject, what mood do i want viewers to feel, what do i feel, is there an item in this landscape i want the main focus to be. did i apply the rules of 3rd.
this seems like a lot of stuff to ask yourself. and if you want to go the extra mile write it down.
this will help you get thinking more about why your taking the photo. if you feel you just have to have it then take it. but pleas ask yourself some of those questions once you get use to it it will be on auto and it won’t take long.
once your done go to the next spot and do the same thing. dont’ look at the photos. but do go back through the same spots and take the same photo again with different lighting different weather and timeing using a tri pod if you want.

the main key is to think more then you click!
