    Is it possible to capture the natural beauty of a majestic landscape with your digital camera? Professional photographer Erin Manning proves that you can if you only apply some basic photographic principles. In the first lesson, she teaches her student how to properly compose a landscape panorama photograph--telling him to pay special attention to both horizon lines and the foreground and background objects. Secondly, she shows exactly why using a tripod will help make the final product a much better photograph. Erin then gives tips on how to shoot a panoramic photo, a picture in which multiple images are combined to create one seamless landscape. Finally she brings her student back to her studio to show him how to combine the images he has taken using photo editing software and they create and print out the panoramic photograph.
