The gentle hues at dawn are worth getting out of bed for, but color alone won't hold the viewer's interest. To make a dramatic impact on your scenic and travel images, find a strong foreground element. A field of wildflowers for example can be used to balance the composition. To make sure everything is sharp from near-to-far, use a small aperture such as f16. Remember, the greater the f number, the greater the depth of field.
