Including a person in your landscape shots can provide a sense of scale and add a storytelling element to the image.

Incorporate movement and action into your photos to add excitement and energy to your adventure shots.
Experiment with different perspectives and angles
Try shooting from high and low angles, as well as experimenting with different lenses to create unique and dynamic compositions.
Use leading lines and framing techniques
Look for natural lines and elements in the landscape to lead the viewer's eye through the image, and use framing to draw attention to the main subject.
Embrace the elements and weather conditions
Don't be afraid to shoot in adverse weather conditions, as they can add drama and mood to your landscape shots.
Edit with intention to enhance, not alter
Use editing software to enhance the natural beauty of your images, but avoid over-editing to maintain the authenticity of the scene.
