How Including Foreground Interest Can Add Depth to Your Landscape Photographs

In this video I visit Loughrigg Fell overlooking Grasmere in the Lake District to talk about how including foreground interest can add depth to your landscape photographs.

My top tips for adding depth to your images are:
- look for scenes with a distinct foreground and background
- set the camera low to the ground to exaggerate the foreground
- shoot in portrait orientation to exaggerate a bottom to top composition
- use a wide angle lens to further exaggerate the foreground
- try to balance the foreground and background so that neither is too dominant
- use a small aperture such as f/11 for maximum sharpness
- focus at the hyperfocal distance to maximise depth of field
- use a polariser to remove glare from the foreground
- look for foregrounds with natural leading lines
- avoid walking on the foreground if at all possible
