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.

If the topic you're interested in doesn't appear near the top of the blog, use the handy search feature on the right to check previous posts for that subject. 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.


Winter landscape in black and white


The winter landscape is somewhat monochromatic, especially on cloudy days.  That's why black and white photography is a natural in this season.  I normally try to avoid shooting into the sun, but it worked out surprisingly well this time, with the glare off the ice highlighting the surface texture.

This photo was taken along the Crystal River, below Chair Mountain and McClure pass, between Redstone and Marble, Colorado.
