Christine,
Sometimes you just have to recognise the limitations / advantages of whatever lens you have. If you set out with tons of kit invariably you will not take many pictures.
What lenses do you have?
The perspective is greatly affected by focal length.
At one end of the scale wide angles that give huge depth of field tend to make the horizon very distant.
Telephoto lenses draw distant objects up into the image.
I started a thread here

Go to post #6 , read it and work back to the link mentioned in post #2.
Look at the effect on the background tower as it moves from wide through to telephoto.
Check some of the images linked for the effect that a lens had. Spend time in the gallery LANDSCAPES and look for images where the focal length is mentioned eg nirofo's gallery
Hope we are helping.
