Simple things you can do to take decent looking landscape pictures:

-- Get down! Get down! (As Schwarzenegger would so gallantly put it.) Stop being so egotistic. Get a different perspective for Pete’s sake!

-- Focus already! Try focusing on something close to you while keeping the rest of the landscape in view.

-- Take some pictures through the grass, flowers, or branches. You can create the effect of being apart of the landscape. I would recommend finding a place without many poisonous animals or judgmental people.

-- Look for contrast, shadows, and different lighting. Although doesn’t Photoshop already do that?

-- Find a way to naturally frame your picture using windows and different openings. See, now you don’t have to buy a frame!

-- Not the nature person? Buy something a little more artificial like our gemstone inspired muslin on sale.
