Gorgeous -Pedri González

Guess who's back with more Vzlan! Reader fics?! Ajá, yo🤭😌 Also... Influencer!Reader

Warnings: High content of Venezuelan slang, curse words, some jokes (?) or mentions of them because I can't joke to save my life, lots of Spanish.

Please, feedback is highly appreciated!

Summary: The guys made him know you but your warm aura and way of being was the one to make him fall for you

You. Y/N Y/L/N. A pretty much famous Latina influencer. You kinda went all in, a lot of people followed you because, you liked sports and health, often gave outfit and makeup tips, travelled and the one you loved to do the most was photographic art, also you didn't had the need of being another persona in front of the cameras. You were exactly the same in and out.

And you guess the realistic side of you, the natural, humble but still strong and pretty girl you are, was the thing that attracted people the most to you.

Including, the football player Ansu Fati.

The young man had started following you back in 2020, when you moved to Barcelona and it was for a simple mistake he turned being your fan, he had bumped into one of your posts about this healthy recipe and asked his mom to try it out for him. When he grabbed a bite he fell in love with it and started following you for more recipes but at the end of the day, he fell into your "fandom" because of your natural personality.

You never tried, you were just you.

So when one day he was wheezing, laughing and crying when training was done, his teammates were a bit concerned about what had possesed him.

"Hostias, ¿Y a ti qué te pasa, tio?" Pedri had asked as Ansu kept on laughing, when Balde went behind him and saw his phone, the image of you in a podcast with your other three friends laughing your asses off, made sense to the other guy who nodded letting out a simple 'Ah!'

"What's up with him?" Ferran asked

"He's watching another video of Y/N Y/L/N" Balde joined him "When did she posted this one?" Balde, along with Pablo Torre, Eric and Ansu were big fans of yours thanks to the last one influence

"It's not hers" He managed to say "It's from these guys who she hangs around with always"

"You mean "Los Bichos"?" Pablo Torre asked getting behind them to see the content as well "I gotta go and see that one"

"What's the big thing about her?" Pedri suddenly asked. He had heard your name before and knew you were an influencer but never really saw one of your videos or really followed you on Instagram or any other social media. The guys looked at him as if he was crazy, not really believing what their friend had just said.

"She's amazing" Ansu answered "She gives good tips on health, fashion, she also does travelling and photography and she likes sports. Her carisma is what attracts people in"

"Not to mention the looks" Torre murmured "Hermosa" He blew a kiss towards Ansu's phone

"Aurora is basically in love with her, always having one of her lives, videos, podcasts or anything"

"Sira's the same" Ferran nodded "I have seen her, she's quite the jokester too"

Suddenly all of them were watching Ansu's phone

"Well, she indeed is really pretty" Gavi agreeded

"Sad that she may not be like we see her on real life tho" Pedri shrugged his shoulders

"No, she is" Torre nodded "One of my girl friends has met her and she says she's the sweetest"

Pedri could only see your smile and the way you threw your head back in laughter, amazed, you were beautiful. He wasn't going to deny it, he had eyes, big ones in fact, and he could see the beauty of women.

"How old is she?" Gavi asked

"She just turned twenty" Eric said

"What did you say her name was?"

"Y/N Y/L/N" He nodded pretending not to be interested

That very same night, Pedri was fighting himself to watch some of your content on Instagram and Youtube, he didn't know what was he afraid of, he was just going to see what's the fuss of the guys, nothing else.

But oh boy...

One video, turned into two, then three, four, five, six and by the time he realized it was 2:30 am, his battery that used to be on 87% was now in 4% and thirty videos he had watched

"Hostia, mae'mia" The Canarian murmured "It's really late" He considered plugging his phone and stop seeing your videos but the longer he kept thinking of it, the less he wanted to let go of his phone, he wanted to see your smile one more time, your laugh and your pretty big eyes, you indeed were really sweet in and out of cameras.

He had now seen the thing the guys had seen in you too. He decided to push the Follow button on your Instagram account and also decided to see the last Live you have done recently which was three days ago.

"¿Por qué no hablas español?" (Why don't you talk Spanish?) You had read confused "¿Y es que yo hablo chino?" (And do I speak Chinese?) You laughed lightly "I think I get what you mean, it's the accent, right?" You stopped for a second to drink some water "Well, déjame decirte chama que mi acento venezolano es demasiado bello pa' yo cambiarlo. I don't mean to say the Spanish accent isn't pretty, because it really is, I like it. It's just not my style because I'm obviously not a Spaniard" (let me tell you, girl, that my Venezuelan accent is too beautiful for me to change it) You paused a little

"Sí, que se me puede salir un poquillo el vosotros y algunas cosillas que hacéis" (Yes, I can get out a little about and some things that you guys do) You did a perfect Spanish accent laughing "Pero, no" You spoke naturally shaking your head (But no)

He smiled watching you and your Latina roots, defending and wearing them proudly.

That was only the start of Pedri crushing on you. The next following weeks, he had not missed a single Live, Vlog or post that you did. Soon the guys knew Pedri had developed a crush on you when Gavi spied on his phone and saw him looking a post about a photoshoot you had done for Vogue España

"You like her?" Eric asked

"She's really nice" He had nodded blushing

"But you like her?"

"She is nice" Pedri repeated "She probably doesn't know me"

"C'mon, the girl loves sports, she's actually a Barca fan!!" Ansu replied as Pedri smiled shaking his head

"It's just a mere crush, it'll go away in a while" He said and everyone dropped the subject.

"¡Hola mis amores lindos!" (Hello my beautiful loves!) You smiled at the camera "Yo estoy bien y espero que ustedes se encuentren muy bien también y si no pues espero que este mensaje les anime un poquito... Les hablo para notificarles que como cosa rara" (I'm fine and I hope you're feeling very well too and if not, then I hope this message encourages you a little... I'm speaking to notify you that as a strange thing) You laughed lightly "Mis chicos de "Los Bichos" me han invitado nuevamente a ser parte de uno de sus magnificos episodios de su podcast, el episodio va a ser en vivo, podremos contestarles algunas de sus preguntas, mandar saludos, revelaré unas pocas cosas que se vienen en grande y bueno, las demás vainas que los chicos hacen, ustedes ya saben como es la cuestión así que sin más nada que decir los espero este jueves a las 21hrs de España. Les mando un besote bien grande y un abrazo muy cálido. Take care!" (My boys from "Los Bichos" have invited me again to be part of one of their magnificent episodes of their podcast, the episode will be live, we will be able to answer some of your questions, send greetings, I will reveal a few things that are coming Big and good, the rest of the things that the boys do, you already know what the matter is, so without further ado, I'll wait for you this Thursday at 9:00 p.m. in Spain. I send you a big kiss and a very warm hug)

It was set. He cleared up his whole agenda, just to have Thursday night free all to himself... And well, to Fer as well.

"Why are you so suddenly obsessed with that girl?" Fer asked as Pedri got ready to watch your Live, he had connected his laptop to his TV and his phone besides him "You've been a month and something suddenly Y/N this and Y/N that"

"She's good" Pedri shrugged his shoulders

"You like her?"

"Puff, no" When Pedri turned around to see his brothers face he knew he couldn't lie "Maybe a little?" Fer raised his eyebrows

"I'm not gonna make fun of you" Pedri sighed

"Okay, she's gorgeous and I like her" Pedri admitted

"She seems really nice"

"Torre says he has a friend that has met her and that she's the sweetest" Pedri replied "I kinda want to meet her"

"Slide into her DM's and say: Hey, big fan. Wanna go out?" Pedri laughed

"Sure, she will say yes quickly" Both brothers laughed as the Podcast started.

"Welcome to another episode of Los Bichos, today we'll be talking a bit of everything but mostly about our love humiliations or just humiliating thing that has happened to us in general"

"And who's better to say that than Y/N Y/L/N?" Other guy said presenting you

"My life isn't that bad, Adrián" You replied smiling "Worse than Miguel's can't be, that's for sure" You point with your lips to the guy sitting in front of you as he shocked points at himself and laughs in disbelief

"Well, she's got a point" The first guy talked

"Nelson talks as if he has the greatest life ever" Miguel said pointing to the first guy with his head

"I don't actually but everyone's life is better than yours, pendejo" You all laughed out loud "Ve, ¿Y tú aquí haciendo algún tipo de propaganda?" (Look, are you here doing some kind of propaganda?) You shook your head

"¿Por qué dices eso?" (Why you say that?) You ask

"The big Barcelona jersey you have on" You look down and smile

"Mano, no; I'm not doing anything. Si supieras que el Barcelona me había enviado un email hace como tres semanas y yo nunca les respondí" (If you know, the Barcelona sent me an email three weeks ago and I never answered them)They laughed "Saben que yo soy fan del club y me hicieron una camisa con mi nombre y el número de mi jugador favorito" (They know I'm fan of the club and they made me this Jersey with my name and the number of my favorite player) You casually replied not thinking too much of it

"Which is?"

"Un jugador" You smirked playing with your golden bracelete, they started yelling a few "A"'s "B, C y D" They laughed "¿Tú creíste que yo iba a ser mongola para caer en esa vaina? No, señor" (Did you thought I was going to be a fool and fell into the trap? No, sir) You shook your head smiling "¡Maldición! I forgot this is live!" (Shit) You yelled "How are you guys doing?" You ask winning a round of laughter with the guys

"We're starting here... Y/N, care to tell us something humiliant that has happened to you?"

"My whole life" You replied as they laughed "No, kidding. Once I had something going on with this guy, it was December and..."

If Pedri liked you, by the end of that live he was most likely in love with you. You were simple and very funny, your sense of humour was the thing that ended up pulling him into you.

He honestly felt like a fan of his but with you. It was terrifying as hell.

"Ad, ¿Si vas a hacer por fin el stand up comedy show?" You asked

"Yes, I will be doing it" Adrián nodded "Why?"

"I wanna go" You pout a bit

"You're invited, don't worry"

"Remember everyone when is it" Nelson said

"This Sunday at 20hrs in the Batuar Hotel Cotton House, make sure to get the tickets as soon as possible they're almost sold out"

"We need those" Pedri said immediately grabbing his phone and getting on the app "¡Hostias, joder! It's too slow"

"Calm down, we'll get one"

After fifteen painful minutes when Pedri was about to finish the purchase, his screen filled out with the No Availabe words

"This event is sold out"

"¡Puta que le parió!" Pedri exclaimed feeling sad

"It's okay bro. She's here in Barcelona, we can see her any other day" Pedri sighed

"I really wanted to see her this Sunday"

"Maybe not this Sunday, but eventually you will" Pedri sighed in annoyance

"Anyway, let's finish watching this" He murmured his eyes on the screen.

His eyes fixated on the Barca home jersey you were wearing and the words my favorite player's number, he wondered... It could be his? Also... You looked incredibly good with the club of his dreams, he couldn't help but imagine you on the stands cheering on for him when suddenly he got himself out of that dreamland. He was really starting to seem like his fans who daydreamed about him.

His mood was down a bit Friday and Saturday when they were at training and Ansu came up to them

"I hope all of you are free tomorrow"

"Why?" Gavi asked as Ansu pulled out six tickets

"We're going to see Adrián Jiménez's live show were Y/N will be present"

Pedri quickly ran and grabbed a ticket, his mood lifted up completely, he grabbed Ansu's head and kissed him

"Thanks, amigo"

"Thanks, nothing. I will be your best man at the wedding"

...

Sunday rolled in and Pedri was nervous and excited, he would be in the same place as you, hopefully met you and make himself fall in love with you once again. You just had a thing that drew him into you and he liked it. Your Latina beauty keeping him on his feet everytime, you way of expressing yourself, your carisma, everything he saw from you, he liked it.

Thanks to Eric, they were a bit late, fifteen minutes late, the show had already started as they were looking for their table, thanfully everyone was into Adrián, they didn't recognized the six football players coming in, everyone but you.

You were surprised seeing them here, you didn't know they were fans of Adrián or the rest of the guys, but you were even more surprised when three of them sat in your table, you greeted them with a little "Buenas noches" and a warm smile, Pedri who was besides you smiled widely at hearing your voice

"Ferran Torres"

"Pablo Torre"

"Pedri"

You smile lightly "Y/N Y/L/N"

"Chica, deja de estar chanceando" (Girl, stop joking around) Pedri saw you lift your hands a bit surprised being scolded by your friend

"¡Pero no estoy chanceando!" (I'm not joking around!) You exclaimed a little

"¿Ah no?" He shook his head "What are you doing?"

"Greeting my tablemates" The place laughed at your face "¡Y si lo estuviese no es tú peo, mano!" (And if I were, it's not your deal, man!)

"Oye, mira tú-"

"¡'Tas en medio de un show, sigue hablando de como dejaste caer el telefono en el baño de la estación del metro!" (You're in the middle of a show, keep talking about how you dropped the phone in the subway station bathroom!)

"Verga y lo más arrecho es que lo tenía que usar urgente" (Fuck and the most awful thing is that I had to use it urgently) His words made the whole place laugh "You were with me that day"

"I definitely wasn't"

"¿Cómo que no estabas pero sabes lo que pasó?" (How come you weren't there but do you know what happened?)

"You texted it in the groupchat, tonto"

"Shit, I always do that, I eat and I pass pics, I shit and I pass pics, I walk and I pass pics, I play FIFA and I pass pics... I need to stop doing that"

"Please don't" You asked laughing "Me acuerdo aquel día que estabamos todos haciendo una videollamada, tú fuiste a hacerte una merienda y te ha salido una tarántula en uno de los empaques" (I remember that day we were all making a video call, you went to make yourself a snack and a tarantula came out in one of the packages)

"MOVING ON!" Laughter filled the room.

Besides your greeting and you apologising for your friend's craziness, you never spoke with any other of the guys just small smiles when the even was done you said your goodbyes to them and went to Adrián, Pedri sighed having lost his chance to talk to you

"C'mon, man. You let her go"

"I just couldn't do it... I don't know what happened"

"You'll have another chance, bro" Gavi patted Pedri's back smiling tightly at him "She was watching you too" The youngster smirked making Pedri shake his head

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, guys. Ya vuelvo" (I'll be back) And with that Pedri left them.

He splashed water on his face and cleaned his hands, slightly disappointed in the fact he didn't do anything else to talk to you. He shook his head

"Quizás no es hora" (Maybe it's not time) He murmured looking at his mirror reflection before leaving the bathroom.

It was like a destiny thing.

You were in front of him and seemed a bit lost, looking around with a confused face.

"¿Todo bien?" (Everything alright?) A male's voice pulled you out of your thoughts, turning around to meet the owner's voice

"Sí, todo bien. Sólo que, no tengo ni la menor idea de dónde puede estar la salida de este lugar" (Yes, everything's good. It's just, I don't have a single clue on where the exit of this place can be) You admitted "El muy..." You moved your moth but no sound came out "puto de Adrián me dejó por un chance que le salió, se fue así sin decir nada y..." (The... fucker of Adrián left me for a date he got, he left without saying anything and...) You sighed "I'm kinda lost in this big place" You smiled shyly "What about you?"

"Bathroom" You nod letting out a little 'Oh!' "Want me to help you?" Your eyebrows went up for a bit "I'm not an incredibly knowner of the place, I've come here twice... Maybe walk you to your car?" You smile shaking your head

"I would take up on your offer but I also don't have anyone to take me home, my car broke down yesterday, Adrián offered me the ride and you are probably busy or just want to have the rest of the night off, so I wouldn't like for you to ditch your plans to spend it glued to me because I was left alone" You smiled as he shook his head

"It wouldn't be a problem for me" Pedri said "I would love to help you, I can give you a ride if you like" He smiled softly "Venga, vamos" He offered your his arm "Maybe you can tell me about more of those healthy recipes? Or talk to me in Venezuelan slang?" You both laughed

"There are too many recipes I can share with my Venezuelan accent but we would need more time for that than a single ride" You accepted his arm watching him smirk

You looked at him smiling lightly "Then how about we can go for a coffee next time?"

I dropped a new OnlyFans tip menu tonight.

Honestly, I did it because I'm my hustle phase right now. I really really want to get another car. Building the discipline and making the conscious effort to save harder than I ever have in my adult life is taxing. Especially because I just shifted from eight hours to ten hours a day at work.. Overnights. But, because it afforded me better opportunity to pursue photography again on better terms.

It gave me a little leg room, considering everything I've been fighting for. I have more time for therapy, a new speech therapist, and a few much needed hospital trips.

For me, the weight gain is going to be the hardest thing to maintain. If I'm being completely candid, it's a big part of the reason I started OnlyFans. (I say that every time I cite a new reason) but because after the stroke almost two years ago, I've been struggling to recover. I was 40 for a year. now I'm pushing 80 again. My goal is just to get somewhere comfortable where everyone's not calling me anorexic/bulimic as those are real conditions I don't have.

So OnlyFans is where I post my progress. Mentally. Physically. Creatively. I've got a few Mac projects I'm actually traveling to bring to fruition. Hence the Great Farry Lisherman. If you know, you know.

[stranger-nightmare]

Hi so I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I wanted to get your opinion so imagine in stranger things when Nancy falls through and gets stuck she time traveled to now and then when all the gang and y/n dating Steve Go to save Nancy they all get stuck and have to learn how to live and like how different the world is. and they discover tiktok and stuff and maybe robin is surprised that she can be openly out in 2022 and she gets a girlfriend I would write this but IdkiIcouldoitjustice

omg I really love the idea of our stranger things babies in the modern world, especially with tiktok idk why it just makes smile to think of the different accounts they would have

like Steve and Robin would absolutely be doing dumb tiktok dances and challenges together

Nancy would run one of those self-defence tiktok accounts

Eddie does heavy metal covers of current pop songs

Max and El are always doing best friend challenges together

El has one of those safe space accounts where she goes about doing everyday things that might give people anxiety so she can show everyone that it’s okay

Max has her own skateboarding account

Will runs a dnd tips and advice account

Jonathan runs a photography account ofc

Argyle just films random stuff as he goes about his day but somehow has amounted like a million followers bc he’s just so funny lmao (kinda like @/kodasteven on tiktok of y’all know him)

Lucas is on sports / basketball tiktok, giving tips and advice, updating about his matches, his training programmes, etc.

Dustin runs like a tech account where he provides the most hilarious reviews of the latest tech and stuff, most of his followers don’t care about the tech they’re just there for how funny his videos are

Billy is obviously one of those cringy thirst trap tiktok boys

Mike prefers to scroll rather to actually post, but when he does it’s just random stuff that he feels like posting, a dnd game here, a cute vid of him and El there, just that kind of stuff

Erica runs one of those roast accounts where she makes fun of other people being cringey or stupid on the app (she frequently makes fun of Billy’s thirst traps lmaooo)

Breaking Down the Cost of a Pre-Wedding Shoot in India: What to Expect and Budget For

In India, pre-wedding shoots have become an integral part of the wedding planning process. These shoots provide couples with a unique opportunity to capture the love and excitement of their engagement period. However, the cost of a pre-wedding shoot can vary widely depending on several factors. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect and how to budget for your pre-wedding shoot in India.

Factors Influencing the Cost of a Pre-Wedding Shoot in India

Location

Local vs. Destination: Local shoots in your city are generally more affordable, whereas destination shoots in exotic locations like Udaipur, Goa, or Kerala can significantly increase costs due to travel and accommodation expenses.

Venue Fees: Some locations, especially heritage sites or resorts, may charge a fee for photography sessions. It’s essential to check for any hidden costs.

Photographer's Expertise

Experience and Reputation: Highly reputed photographers with extensive portfolios often charge more than emerging photographers. Their work quality and experience can justify the higher price.

Package Inclusions: Different photographers offer varied packages that can include multiple locations, outfit changes, props, and detailed photo editing. Comprehensive packages tend to be more expensive.

Duration of the Shoot

Half-Day vs. Full-Day: A shorter shoot lasting a few hours is less costly compared to a full-day shoot, which allows for more variety in locations and outfits but comes with a higher price tag.

Additional Services

Styling and Makeup: Professional hair and makeup artists can be hired to ensure you look your best, adding to the overall cost. Some photographers might offer these services within their packages.

Props and Decor: Using customized props, thematic decor, and elaborate setups can enhance your photos but will also increase the budget.

Editing and Deliverables

Basic vs. Advanced Editing: Basic editing might be included in standard packages, while advanced editing, special effects, or creating custom albums may cost extra.

Deliverables: The number of edited photos, photo albums, and digital copies can affect the overall cost. More deliverables typically mean higher prices.

Average Cost Estimates in India

Mid-Range Photographers: ₹25,000 - ₹70,000

High-End Photographers: ₹70,000 - ₹2,00,000+

For couples seeking premium service and exceptional quality.

Tips for Budgeting Your Pre-Wedding Shoot

Set Clear Priorities

Decide what aspects of the shoot are most important to you. Whether it’s the photographer’s style, the location, or additional services like makeup, knowing your priorities will help you allocate your budget effectively.

Book Early

Photographers often offer discounts for early bookings. This not only saves money but also ensures you secure your preferred photographer.

Negotiate Packages

Don’t hesitate to discuss your budget with photographers. They might offer customized packages that fit your needs without compromising on quality.

Consider Off-Peak Seasons

Opting for a shoot during the off-peak wedding season can sometimes reduce costs as demand is lower.

DIY Elements

Incorporate DIY elements like personal props or doing your own hair and makeup to cut down costs.

Conclusion

A pre-wedding shoot is a beautiful way to celebrate your engagement and capture cherished memories. Understanding the factors that influence the cost and knowing how to budget for these elements will ensure you get the best value for your money. By setting clear priorities, booking early, and negotiating with photographers, you can achieve a stunning pre-wedding shoot that fits your budget and exceeds your expectations.

Photography is a great way to bond with your children. Teaching them how to take pictures will help to build their self-esteem, and looking through the photographs you both took will help bring the two of you closer together. This article will give you some tips for making the most of teaching your children about photography.

With the ease of cameras today, it is very easy for a novice person to take some great pictures without a lot of knowledge. Having a high quality camera is the first step. Make sure that the camera, lens and equipment are all from a reputable company who makes quality photographic equipment. Don't rely on your camera's zoom. Get a close as possible before you start to use your zoom. Zooming in can be helpful, but after a while the picture can get distorted. You're better off getting as close to the subject as you can before you try to zoom in on it. Use a tripod for maximum camera stability. For random shots of your kids or buildings, a bit of camera shake isn't a big deal, but for once-in-a-lifetime shots that really matter, a bit of camera shake can ruin a perfect memory. If a tripod is not available, try setting the camera on a flat surface. Keep your pictures relatively simple. A good image should be straightforward and easy to interpret and appreciate. chụp ảnh cưới đẹp is important to take meaningful pictures, but in most cases your pictures will say more if you focus on a detail rather than put together a complex composition that might not strike people as much. In order to produce the best and clearest photographs, you should use a tripod. A tripod allows you to stabilize the camera, so that your photos are in better focus. This is especially important if you are using a high-zoom lens or shooting at night, since small changes in the camera's position will result in major blurring. Even if you are taking a landscape photo, make sure your shot has a focal point. Shots without a focal point can look rather empty and dull. Possible focal points for a nature landscape photo include big trees, waterfalls, and distant mountains. Another trick is to use something that stands out as your focal point, such as a patch of different colored flowers. A great photography tip is to keep your sensor as clean as possible. If your sensor is dirty, you're going to end up with a dirty picture. Having a clean sensor can save you a lot of time by not having to clean up a photo in an image editing program. If you are planning to take photos in a new country go straight to the postcard rack. Postcards can help you gain new ideas of the scenery that is unique to the country that you are in. Use these photos as ideas for the spots that you want to visit. A good photography tip is to realize that you're not always in control. Trying to be in control of everything can be extremely frustrating, especially when there are variables involved that are simply out of your control. Try to just relax and enjoy the act of taking photographs. When traveling, take pictures of your food. Take the time to play with lights, colors and compose your pictures. You might get used to the food by the time you come back home, but these pictures will look very original to you and your friends later when you reflect back on your trip. Do not forget to take pictures of yourself. You can still compose the background and choose how you want to use light and colors. Give instructions to a friend and look at the preview before you go pause. These pictures will be nice memories when you look back at them. Play with lens distortion. chụp ảnh cưới use portrait lenses or zoom lenses to focus on an object, and use a wide-angle lens for landscapes and such. By using a lens for a different use than its intended one, you will get a very original photograph. Do not let this become your style: learn when you can use an original lens. As stated in the beginning of this article, photography is a great way to bond with your children and build their self-esteem. Taking pictures together creates memories that will last for a life time. Apply the tips from this article to make the most of your next picture taking adventure with your children.

Top 10 Tips for Capturing Stunning Landscape Photos

Introduction

Landscape photography is a popular genre of photography that has the power to transport viewers to breathtaking natural wonders, evoke emotions, and inspire wanderlust. Whether you are a professional photographer or a hobbyist, capturing stunning landscape photos can be a rewarding experience. However, it takes more than just pointing your camera at a beautiful scene and pressing the shutter button to capture a truly stunning landscape photo. In this age of smartphones and social media, everyone has the ability to capture a snapshot of a beautiful landscape, but to create a photograph that stands out, you need to put in some effort and use some techniques to capture the beauty of the landscape in a unique and captivating way. In this article, we will provide you with some tips and tricks for capturing stunning landscape photos that will help you elevate your photography game and make your photos stand out.

Plan your shoot

Planning your shoot is a crucial step in capturing stunning landscape photos. Before heading out, research the location, check the weather forecast, and plan the time of day when the light is most favorable. This will help you to choose the right equipment and settings for your shoot, as well as save time and minimize the risk of missing the perfect moment. When researching the location, consider factors such as the terrain, the direction of the light, and any points of interest or unique features that could enhance your composition. Look for vantage points that offer a unique perspective, such as elevated viewpoints, waterfalls, or winding paths that can lead the viewer's eye into the photo. Checking the weather forecast is also important as it can significantly affect the mood and quality of the light. For example, a cloudy day can provide soft, diffused light that is perfect for capturing the moodiness of a landscape, while a sunny day can provide harsh, contrast light that may require the use of filters to balance the exposure. Finally, planning the time of day when the light is most favorable is crucial for capturing stunning landscape photos. The golden hours, the hour after sunrise and before sunset, are ideal for capturing soft, warm light that can enhance the colors and textures of a landscape. Consider the direction of the light and the shadows it creates, and how it can add depth and interest to your composition. By planning your shoot, you can increase your chances of capturing stunning landscape photos that showcase the beauty and uniqueness of the location.

Use a tripod

A stable platform is essential for capturing sharp and well-composed landscape photos. Invest in a sturdy tripod to help you achieve this. Using a tripod is essential for capturing sharp and well-composed landscape photos. A tripod provides a stable platform for your camera, which eliminates camera shake and allows you to use slower shutter speeds without introducing blur into your images. When selecting a tripod, consider the weight and stability of the tripod as well as the height and versatility of the tripod head. A heavy, sturdy tripod will offer better stability in windy conditions, while a lightweight tripod may be more suitable for long hikes or travel.

Pay attention to the light

The quality of light can greatly affect the mood and feel of your photos. Pay attention to the direction and intensity of the light, and experiment with different types of lighting, such as golden hour or blue hour. Use a polarizing filter: A polarizing filter can help reduce glare and reflections in your photos, as well as enhance the colors of the landscape. Adjust your settings: Adjust your camera settings, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, to achieve the desired effect. For example, a smaller aperture can create a larger depth of field, while a slower shutter speed can create a dreamy, long exposure effect. Look for interesting subjects: A stunning landscape photo can be made even more interesting by including an interesting subject, such as a person, animal, or object. Practice, practice, practice: The more you practice, the better you will become at capturing stunning landscape photos. Take your camera with you on hikes or walks, and experiment with different techniques and settings to find what works best for you.

Compose your shot

Use the rule of thirds to place the horizon, leading lines, and points of interest in your frame. Avoid placing your subject in the center of the frame. Compose your shot: Consider the elements of the landscape and how you want to frame them in your photo. Use the rule of thirds to create a visually appealing composition, and look for leading lines, patterns, and textures that can add depth and interest to your photo. Pay attention to the foreground: A strong foreground can help anchor your photo and add depth to the image. Look for interesting foreground elements, such as rocks, flowers, or trees, and position them in the lower portion of the frame. Experiment with different angles: Try shooting from different angles and perspectives to add variety to your photos. Get low to the ground or climb up high to get a different view of the landscape.

Use a wide-angle lens

A wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing sweeping vistas and expansive landscapes. It also helps you to capture foreground elements that can add depth and interest to your photos. A wide-angle lens can be useful for capturing expansive landscapes and creating a sense of depth and scale. It can also help you fit more of the scene into your frame, which can be especially helpful if you are shooting in a tight space or trying to include a large foreground element. However, be careful not to distort the image too much, as this can create an unnatural or unappealing effect.

Choose the right aperture

The aperture setting controls the depth of field in your photo, or how much of the image is in focus. For landscape photos, you generally want a large depth of field, so that both the foreground and background are in focus. To achieve this, use a smaller aperture, such as f/8 or f/11. However, if you want to create a shallow depth of field and blur the background, you can use a larger aperture, such as f/2.8 or f/4, but keep in mind that this may not be the best choice for landscape photos.

Use filters

Polarizing filters can help to reduce glare and reflections, while neutral density filters can help to control the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for longer exposures. Filters can be a great way to enhance your landscape photos and control the light. A neutral density filter can help you create a longer exposure and blur moving elements like water or clouds. A graduated neutral density filter can balance the exposure between the sky and the foreground, especially useful during sunrise or sunset. A polarizing filter can reduce glare and reflections, enhance the colors and saturation of the scene, and increase the contrast of the sky. Consider investing in a set of filters that can be easily swapped depending on the situation. 

Capture the light

Take advantage of the golden hours, the hour after sunrise and before sunset, when the light is soft and warm. Also, look for interesting light conditions such as mist, fog, and dramatic clouds. Light is a critical element in photography, and for landscape photos, the quality and direction of light can greatly impact the mood and atmosphere of the image. Experiment with different types of light, such as the warm and soft light of sunrise or sunset, the cool and blue light of the blue hour, or the harsh and contrast light of midday. Look for interesting shadows, reflections, and highlights that can add depth and interest to your photo. Don't be afraid to shoot in unconventional lighting conditions, such as during a storm or in fog, as these can create unique and dramatic effects.

Experiment with shutter speed Shutter speed controls the amount of time that the camera's sensor is exposed to light. For landscape photography, experimenting with different shutter speeds can help you achieve different effects, such as capturing motion blur in flowing water or creating a dramatic and dreamy effect with a long exposure. Use a slower shutter speed (1/30 sec or slower) to blur the movement of water, clouds or people, or use a faster shutter speed (1/500 sec or faster) to freeze action and capture sharp details. Don't forget to use a tripod when using slower shutter speeds to avoid camera shake and blurry images. Bracket your exposures Bracketing your exposures means taking multiple shots of the same scene at different exposure levels, usually with a variation in shutter speed or aperture. This technique can be useful in landscape photography when there is a wide range of light in the scene, such as during sunrise or sunset. By taking multiple shots at different exposures, you can blend the images together in post-processing to create a final image with a balanced exposure and maximum detail in both highlights and shadows. Some cameras have built-in bracketing features that Simplify this process with our video: Beginner's Guide to Landscape Photography Tips.  Edit your photos Use editing software to enhance your photos, adjust the exposure, color, and contrast, and remove any distractions. But remember, editing should only be used to enhance your photos, not to create them. Editing is an essential part of the photography process, and it can help bring out the best in your landscape photos. Use editing software, such as Lightroom or Photoshop, to adjust the exposure, contrast, saturation, and color balance of your images. You can also use editing to remove distractions, crop the image to improve the composition, and sharpen the details. However, be careful not to over-edit your photos, as this can make them look unnatural and unappealing. Use editing to enhance the beauty of the scene, not to create something that wasn't there in the first place. "Photography is the art of observation.

Using a tripod is highly recommended for landscape photography, as it can help you achieve sharper and more stable images, especially in low light conditions. However, if you're taking photos during the day with plenty of light and using a fast shutter speed, you may be able to get away without using a tripod.  What is the benefit of shooting in RAW format? Shooting in RAW format gives you greater control over the final image in post-processing, as you have access to more information and detail in the image file. RAW files contain all the data that the camera sensor captures, while JPEG files are compressed and lose some information in the process. Shooting in RAW format allows you to adjust the exposure, contrast, white balance, and other settings in post-processing without losing quality.  How do I choose the right aperture for landscape photography? Choosing the right aperture depends on the scene and the effect you want to achieve. Generally, you want to use a narrow aperture (high f-stop number) to ensure that the entire scene is in focus and has a greater depth of field. However, in some cases, you may want to use a wider aperture (lower f-stop number) to create a shallower depth of field and isolate a subject or create a more artistic effect.  What type of filters should I use for landscape photography? There are many types of filters that can be used for landscape photography, including polarizing filters, neutral density filters, and graduated neutral density filters. Polarizing filters can help reduce reflections and enhance the colors and contrast in the scene, while neutral density filters can allow you to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright lighting conditions. Graduated neutral density filters can help balance the exposure in a scene with a bright sky and darker foreground.  How can I capture the light in landscape photography? Capturing the light is about paying attention to the direction, quality, and intensity of the light in the scene. You can use the direction of the light to create shadows and highlight textures and shapes in the landscape. You can also use the quality of the light, such as during golden hour or blue hour, to create mood and atmosphere in the image. Finally, you can use the intensity of the light to create contrast and depth in the scene. Read the full article
