Start with the broad scene, then notice contrasts in color, shape, and distance.

For photographs, try one composition that emphasizes the sweep of the outlook and another that uses a nearer shape to create depth. Keep your framing flexible as the light changes. A few attentive minutes can make a viewpoint visit feel distinct, especially when you focus on what the scene reveals rather than turning the stop into a checklist.
