Welcome the Landscape and Nature Photography blog

Landscape and nature photography is popular in scenic areas, because there's so much subject matter everywhere one turns. This blog will help you advance from taking a mere snapshot of beautiful scenery to creating a great photograph that pulls you into that scene as though you were back there again.

From winter landscape photography to macro photography, color to black and white, view my beautiful nature photography and read the digital landscape photography tips I offer to help you improve your photos.

Themes like the rule-of-thirds, using lines and curves, finding foreground elements, photographic filters, light angles, tripods, and others are discussed, with examples provided to illustrate the concepts.

Mountain Pond in Late Autumn

Because it's so close to home, this pond near Marble ought to be a favorite subject of mine. Oddly enough, I've not taken that many photos here. Conditions were perfect this afternoon, and I'm glad I ventured up there.

This bend in the river below McClure Pass is an area known as Placita, or "little place," where a small settlement once existed. The remains of a coal mine are on the east side of the river. This is about halfway between Redstone and Marble, Colorado.
