If you follow my tips for frame composing, you will make stunning photos with any kind of gear. In this blog post I show you three another composing tricks for landscapes. Let’s go 
The featured image of this tutorial I made on our trip to Holland this year. This motif I saw shortly after sunset near our hotel. It was quite dark and very windy. I unpacked my tripod and got started to shoot. After some shoots I founded that the bridge wiggled like a crazy with me and my camera. So all my pictures were blurred 
When I was on dry land the photos were much sharper. But the yachts were moving easily too. You see a slight blur on this photo, but I’m able to live with it.
Tip 1: Balance Your Photos
Balanced photos look much more harmonious to the viewer. You can balance your photos horizontally and vertically. In my example, the yachts on the left side and the houses on the right compensated each other. Such photos look very calming, but many small details catch the eyes of the viewer. The water, which moves also brings dynamic the photo. Best example of horizontal balance is the horizon line in the photos If you divide the image in the middle, it acts mostly calm. As soon as the horizon line is in one of the two-thirds, your photo acts much more dynamically.

Tip 2: Use a Perspective
Human’s eyes follow automatically all curves and straight lines on the image. With the proper perspective you can guide the viewer along your image. So he will discover more details in the photo. Also you can position the main subject depth in your image. For example, a person at the end of the road will never be overlooked, no matter how large it is. On the next picture, the viewer’s eye follows the yellow flowers along and sees the storm in background. This consistent sharpness you will get only with closed aperture. From the aperture 11 to the maximum value you will get really sharp landscapes.

Tip 3: Focus and Depth of Field
With these funds, you can create very cool effects to your images. There are hardly any rules. What you need to know that the viewer is always looking for the sharpened point. So you can guide him through the image also. Another one trick to keep the interest of the audience on your pictures is a course of sharpness or named correctly depth of field. This happens when a part of the image is out of the focus, or if the image depth is less sharper. For example I’ll show you some pictures of the Keukenhof in Holland. Keukenhof is the international and independent showcase for the Dutch cultural sector floristic. In order for these blur arises you need to keep the aperture as open as it makes your lens allows.
