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.


Spring rapids


The Crystal River dwindles to a flow of forty cubic feet per second in late winter.  Fueled by the spring melt, it surges to over two thousand cfs at its peak, usually in May.  Yesterday it was flowing at four hundred cfs when I set up my tripod to take this shot.  I still had the neutral density filter on the camera, as I was hoping to capture the "hidden falls" I discovered last year.  That had yet to start flowing, so I figured I would get what I could, despite the cloudy skies.  As long as the colors remain muted, I'll continue to convert to black and white.
