Composition is one of the trickiest parts of photography no matter what genre you shoot, but it can be especially challenging in genres in which you have no control over the placement of the elements in the environment, such as landscape photography. This great video features an experienced landscape photographer discussing some of the difficulties of composition and showing how even minor adjustments can make or break an image. 

Coming to you from Alister Benn of Expressive Photography, this awesome video discusses some of the challenges of composition in landscape photography and how small changes can make big differences. Composition is some that we all struggle with at one time or another, but if you are new to the genre, the important thing to notice is what a subtle art it is. Small adjustments are often the difference between an unbalanced photo and a harmonious frame, and they can often take a good shot to a truly compelling one. Once you have a shot generally framed up, take a few minutes to really think through all the details in the shot. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Benn.
