When it comes to landscape photography, composition reigns supreme as the single most important thing determining the appeal of a shot. It’s not easy transferring intuitive understanding to concrete ideas, but I think it’s possible to break down most of the considerations one should keep in mind when trying to compose a landscape shot. In this 173-page ebook, Erez Marom describes them in the clearest way possible, using many examples and simple explanations. Erez views composition as a mental puzzle to be solved by the photographer, and in order to teach you how to solve it, he will apply a gradual progression of arguments and ideas. He will begin by getting you to understand how he sees compositional elements, and then explain how to treat and use these elements to create a good composition, step by step. Each chapter will build on the previous ones and further advance the reader’s ability to solve the visual puzzle of nature.
