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.

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.


rain drops on plants


I should really invest in a macro lens, so I can get much closer to my subject.  Lots of rain last night made for foggy conditions today, but not foggy enough for the landscape photos I hoped to take by the river.  Instead I found this plant on the way back.  Unlike most of the others, which had some drops, this one was covered with them.  I positioned the tripod in several spots, each yielding both a different view and a different background.  This one was chosen for the great bokeh.
