So it depends on the situation. I would love to take pictures of the views in my country as well as in another countries. Also because every country has their own view and has their own landscaping sceneries. So I would love to capture those moments if I ever get a chance.

× Definitely I love to take pictures of different kind of views because I'm quite good in taking pictures and I did a four month diploma of taking professional pictures with my DSLR and I love to do so.
✓ Definitely I love to take pictures of different kinds of views because I'm quite good at taking pictures and I completed a four-month diploma in professional photography with my DSLR and I love doing so.
Errors include 'different kind of views' (use plural 'kinds' for countable variety), 'good in taking pictures' (correct preposition is 'good at'), 'I did a four month diploma of taking professional pictures' (awkward; use 'completed a four-month diploma in professional photography'), and 'I love to do so' is acceptable but 'I love doing so' is more natural. Suggestions: use correct plural forms for quantifiers, use correct prepositions with 'good', hyphenate compound modifiers (four-month), and prefer 'in' for fields of study.
× As per my knowledge, rural areas are more landscapic and cityscapes, so I would love to collect and capture moments in the rural areas rather than in the urban cities.
✓ As far as I know, rural areas have more landscapes and cityscapes, so I would prefer to collect and capture moments in rural areas rather than in urban cities.
Problems: 'As per my knowledge' is non-idiomatic; use 'As far as I know'. 'more landscapic and cityscapes' mixes adjective with noun and uses 'more' incorrectly; use 'have more landscapes and cityscapes' or 'are more scenic'. 'the rural areas' and 'the urban cities' unnecessary definite articles; use general nouns 'rural areas' and 'urban cities'. Suggestions: use idiomatic expressions, match noun/adjective forms, and avoid unnecessary articles.
× So it depends on the situation. I would love to take pictures of the views in my country as well as in another countries.
✓ So it depends on the situation. I would love to take pictures of the views in my country as well as in other countries.
Error: 'another countries' is incorrect because 'another' is singular; use 'other countries' for plural. Suggestion: choose 'another' with singular countable nouns and 'other' with plurals.
× Also because every country has their own view and has their own landscaping sceneries.
✓ Also, because every country has its own views and its own landscaped scenery.
Errors: 'every country' is singular so the pronoun must be singular 'its' not 'their' (Incorrect use of pronouns / subject-pronoun agreement). 'view' should be plural 'views' or 'scenery'; 'landscaping sceneries' is incorrect collocation. Use 'landscaped scenery' or simply 'scenery'. Suggestions: match singular subjects with singular pronouns, use correct collocations (scenery is uncountable).
× So I would love to capture those moments if I ever get a chance.
✓ So I would love to capture those moments if I ever get the chance.
Minor issue: 'get a chance' is understandable but the more natural phrase is 'get the chance'. This is collocation preference rather than strict grammar. Suggestion: use common collocations 'get the chance' or 'have the chance'.
