Landscape photography requires thorough planning before a shoot, for example you must think about the location of the photo-shoot, the weather you want to capture in your image, including the type of natural lighting, the camera settings needed for these conditions and the viewpoint of the images. This style of photography aims to amplify the essence of natural or urban features for the viewer.

Landscape photography that showcases a rural setting often displays recurring features such as fields, lakes and woodland areas within the countryside, focusing on natural forms rather than man made ones. Below are influential examples of this type of photography.
