Compression is one of the most underutilized tools in photography. In fact, many photographers don't even understand what compression is or why it may be beneficial.

Next time you're in the field, try taking a few steps back and zooming in. While that may sound counterintuitive, it will help add scale to your image.

By backing up, you can maintain the same or similar foreground but increase the background size. In this example, you can see how the slot canyon appears much more prominent in the second image. This technique works even better with mountains and other large objects far away.

Try this technique next time you're out shooting, and don't get caught with the wide-angle fever!
