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.


Clouds refleced in Eagle Lake


I normally turn the polarizing filter to cut through the glare on the water, revealing the rocks and trees beneath the surface.  For this shot, I turned it to maximize the reflection of the clouds overhead. 

Eagle Lake is in the Holy Cross Wilderness Area of Colorado.

Wildflowers


I like to call these types of shots "microscapes," because they're miniature landscapes.  Besides composing for the flowers, including nearby rocks and logs, positioning everything properly in the frame, and considering the bokeh are all things to keep in mind when shooting microscapes.
