Foreground is the area of image that is nearer than the main subject. Adding foreground to your photo give it depth or the look of three dimensionality. Adding a middle ground and background further adds increases the depth of your photo.

Of course you would like to draw the eyes of your viewers to your center of interest or your subject. A good photo is one where the subject is off-center. When composing your images, do not forget to use the rule of thirds.

Light affects your photos more then anything, an image taken at noon can come out looking to bright. The perfect times for a photoshoot are during daybreak and sunset as the shadows cast by the sun add a dramatic effect to your pictures.

Scaling your photo can further add to the drama. A scale is an object which measurement you know. Seeing a photo of the The Grand Canyon with a speck of person somewhere in the horizon makes the vastness of it more felt by the viewer.

Taking good photos can be a challenge. Several facets have to come together to make a good composition. Looking at a landscape photography gallery can help you approximate the components of a good scenery shot. With a little hard work, hopefully you images will also be showcased.
