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.

Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction



Bordering Grand Junction, Colorado to the west is the Colorado National Monument.  This year, it celebrates its 100th anniversary.  The canyons, mesas, and outcrops are most photogenic early in the morning, when the rising sun lights up their east-facing features.  This area is high desert, and the cactus blooms in late May bring lots of color to the landscape.
