5 Reasons Your Landscape Photos Might Not Be Sharp Enough

Landscape photography places a particularly high priority on getting sharp photos, with photographers putting a lot of careful effort into ensuring their photos are as crisp as possible. If you find your images are not as sharp as you would like, check out this helpful video tutorial that discusses five reasons that might be happening and what you can do to improve your shots. 

Coming to you from Photo Tom, this great video discusses five reasons why your landscape images might not be as sharp as you would like. One issue that I often notice newer landscape photographers overlook is the wind. If you are photographing a scene with foliage, it is important to keep an eye on it if you are taking longer exposures. It might be obvious if there is a strong wind, but a mild breeze can be easier to overlook, and it can be easy to miss a slight blur in leaves on your camera's rear LCD. Take a second to zoom in and double-check that the entire frame is sharp, especially considering the physical effort it takes to get to landscape locations! Check out the video above for the full rundown.
