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.


Icicle Bokeh


The icicles outside my bedroom window are always interesting, but tonight the idea occurred to me that they might take on a fantastic look at sunset.  I set up my tripod and camera just after 5pm, and took about eighty photos over the next forty five minutes.  This is one of the last photographs.

It was tempting to include the mountainside across the river, but I opted instead to have only the clouds and sky in my frame for most of the shots.

I think I'll rename and refocus this site on landscape and nature photography, as my website, Best-Landscape-Photography.com, is concentrating more on landscape photography.  Maybe the blog will attract a different audience that way.

Three more icicle photos, including one of the first, are on my flickr pages, where I have a landscape photograph from earlier in the day.
