Photography is an art form that captures a moment in time, showcasing the beauty of the world around us. One of the most popular subjects for photographers and one of my personal favorites is landscapes, and the California mountains provide a stunning backdrop for capturing the majesty of nature. Capturing the sunset over the mountains adds an extra layer of drama and beauty to the image.

However, just pointing a camera at the mountains and clicking the shutter button is not enough to create a truly stunning photo. The way you frame the shot can have a significant impact on the final result. Framing for those who don't know refers to the way you arrange the elements within the viewfinder, and it can help to draw the viewer's eye to the most important parts of the image.

One of the most well know ways to frame a shot is to use the rule of thirds. This is a composition technique where you divide the viewfinder into nine equal parts, and place the main subject along one of the lines, or where the lines intersect. This creates a harmonious balance in the image and helps to guide the viewer's eye to the most important elements.

For this photo, I loved the soft colors of the sky and how open it felt and wanted to use the mountain tops as the border between the land and the sky. Using negative space, a technique for leaving part of the frame empty or blank in this case, really adds a feeling of vastness and openness. I love how this photo turned out and I'm even thinking about printing it out and hanging it on my wall. Let me know if you think I should.

Always remember that by using the elements of framing, such as foreground elements, the rule of thirds, and perspective, you can create a truly stunning image that showcases the beauty of nature. Experiment with different techniques and find the style that works best for you. 

Happy shooting!
