A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How to not take underwhelming landscape photography? (alien.top)

So I'm not a photographer, I'm someone who likes travelling and really enjoys taking photos at the different places I go with my phone. I'm usually really happy with my city photography. Food is ok. But landscapes are terrible.

The mountains look small and not steep. Depth and distance does not come through at all. It just seems flat and underwhelming on camera, when the view I'm seeing with my eyes is the most inspiring thing of all time. I wish I could capture half of that.

Is there any advice you have for me taking photos with my phone (google pixel 7). Is there some type of camera or lens I could look into hiring and learning how to use (2bh I'm pretty clueless on that stuff but would be down to learn). Thanks!

Moment is a company that does lenses for mobiles. You have to buy a case for them that the lens can attach to. They're very robust little lenses. They should help to bring the view more in line with what your eyes are seeing.
