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 with river and mountains


The morning sky is reflected in the Crystal River in this winter landscape taken on my way to work last week.

Snow-covered Mt. Sopris on a winter evening



Mt. Sopris, a few miles south of Carbondale, Colorado, dominates the landscape of the Roaring Fork valley.  Its orientation makes it especially photogenic in the evening, often glowing in the setting sun.  This winter evening, I pulled over on my way home to capture it.  The light was starting to get warm, but I was getting cold, and thus didn't stick around for the pink colors.
