So I’m not a photographer, I’m someone who likes travelling and really enjoys taking photos at the different places I go with my phone. I’m usually really happy with my city photography. Food is ok. But landscapes are terrible.

The mountains look small and not steep. Depth and distance does not come through at all. It just seems flat and underwhelming on camera, when the view I’m seeing with my eyes is the most inspiring thing of all time. I wish I could capture half of that.

Is there any advice you have for me taking photos with my phone (google pixel 7). Is there some type of camera or lens I could look into hiring and learning how to use (2bh I’m pretty clueless on that stuff but would be down to learn). Thanks!

    It’s because a view doesn’t necessarily make a landscape photograph. If you spot a view it’s a good idea to scout the location and think how the scene could be shot (the composition), the direction (EWSN), what the weather’s doing and the time of day. All these factors come in to make a great shot.
