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.


Mountain Sunrise


The morning sun hits Chair Mountain, Colorado, on an early spring day.

I was out early today, and got some more shots by the river (not posted because they're not as good as those earlier in the week), then walked out on this small ridge to shoot the valley a day after a snowfall.  It's melting as fast (if not faster) than it's falling this time of year.

I've been shooting aperture-priority with the ISO set to the "cloudy" setting because of the warm color cast is provides.
