For most photographers, it’s all about photographing anything and everything that comes in view of their lens, especially when photographing with a wide-angle lens. You don’t have to shoot too wide or try to include everything in the entire scene.

There are times we find ourselves in an environment that most often looks attractive to the lens and based on that we shoot too wide and in the process, including a lot of unnecessary things which can be avoided in the photograph.  Majorly for wide-angle landscape photography, the most important thing to focus on is your subject, or else you will have so many distractions. Making the subject larger will direct more attention to it.

Don’t overemphasize your foreground: this being one of the mistakes that most photographers make and this makes it irrelevant and unaesthetic. Even if you’re going to include any foreground at least make it complement or relevant to the entire scene.

Never get too close to your subject: Getting too close to your subject when using a wide-angle lens will cause some distortion in your composition. When photographing a building it’s advisable that you go wide but not close to the buidling while finding patterns that help show the design of the building.

When shooting a wide-angle landscape you are allowed to use a filter especially in cases where there’s excess sunlight.
