landscape photography

Outdoor vista capture

Landscape photography is the genre of photography focused on capturing natural scenery—mountains, forests, coastlines, skies.

The practice emphasizes composition, lighting, and often dramatic weather or golden-hour conditions.

Landscape photographers typically use wide-angle lenses and tripods to maximize sharpness and depth of field: She spent the weekend doing landscape photography in the national park.
