Try to use people, animals or other recognizable objects that are part of the scene to show a sense of scale and convey the grandeur of the landscape you are shooting.

3. Create Depth in Your Landscape Photos
Placing different elements in the scene at different planes helps draw the viewer’s eye into the photograph. Create an illusion of depth by having a strong foreground, middle ground and background in your photographs. This gives a landscape a three dimensional feel.

4. Use Colour Innovatively
Colour is more or less like music. It can evoke a number of varied emotions in the mind of the viewer. For instance, vibrant colours like yellow and red can instil a sense of warmth and joy. While blue tones can suggest tranquillity. Nature is filled with a vast palette of gorgeous colours. Use this to your advantage. You can try various different techniques with colours. Either Isolate part of the scene that is dominated by only one colour. Or shoot a variety of shades in the same image. Always remember that you must ensure that the colours you include complement each other. Be careful while post processing your images. The colours must be saturated, but must not look unnatural.

5. Use White Balance Creatively to Enhance Colours
Play with your white balance settings to enhance / subdue certain colours. Either adjust the white balance setting on the scene to suit your taste or shoot in raw and experiment later at the convenience of your home.
