To find the best landscapes for photography, start by researching top scenic spots in your target area using apps like Instagram, Pinterest, or Google Earth for visual inspiration. Look for places with natural light variety, unique features like mountains, lakes, cliffs, or fields, and interesting weather patterns. Use photography forums or apps like PhotoPills or AllTrails to discover hidden gems and check the best times for lighting. Sunrise and golden hour often give the most dramatic results. Lastly, explore beyond touristy spots—sometimes the best landscapes are off the beaten path.

If you're drawn to dramatic and wild scenery, the best landscapes often lie off the beaten path. Start by researching national parks, mountain ranges, and coastal cliffs—these spots are often goldmines for landscape shots. Use tools like Google Earth or AllTrails to scout terrain and elevation. Hike early or late in the day for soft light and fewer crowds. Trust your instincts and venture off marked viewpoints (safely!) to discover hidden angles and fresh perspectives.

Finding the best landscape spots starts with smart planning. Look through Instagram geotags, photography forums, and local travel blogs for real examples of what to expect. Use apps like PhotoPills, The Photographer’s Ephemeris, or Gaia GPS to plan where the sun, moon, or Milky Way will be. Study weather and seasonality—autumn leaves, spring blooms, or winter snow can transform an ordinary landscape into magic. The more prep you do, the better your chances of capturing something exceptional.

Sometimes the best landscapes come from serendipity. Keep your camera handy during drives, walks, or even train rides—you never know when the light will hit a hill just right. Ask locals or fellow travelers where their favorite views are. Trust your eye and intuition; when a scene takes your breath away, stop and shoot. Be open to detours, and don’t underestimate the power of a foggy morning or stormy sky to add mood and drama.

To find landscapes with visual depth, seek unique compositions rather than popular spots. Look for foreground elements like flowers, rocks, or textured grass to frame the scene and create layers. Pay attention to weather, atmosphere, and light quality—some of the best landscapes aren’t sunny but moody and overcast. Try minimalist compositions in deserts, abstract shots in icy terrain, or surreal scenes in volcanic areas. Your goal is to create art, not just capture scenery.

Even with just a phone, you can find amazing landscapes. Look for bold lines and contrast—like waves crashing against rocks or desert dunes at sunset. Use apps like Google Maps’ satellite view to spot patterns or topography that looks interesting from above. Early morning and golden hour are ideal for soft shadows and warm tones. Be mindful of symmetry, reflections, and leading lines to guide the viewer’s eye through your frame.
