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.


Frying Pan Lakes




Spending two nights at Frying Pan Lakes, in the Hunter-Frying Pan Wilderness Area of Colorado, allowed me to photograph them at sunrise, sunset, and all times in between.

As usual with landscape photographs, some of my favorites were those taken with the polarizing filter.  I particularly liked the ice formations on the lower lake my last morning, and the polarizer cut through the reflection to see the rocks beneath the surface.
