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.


Foggy Mountain Panorama

Morning fog in the Crystal River valley.

This panorama was created from six images.  My friend stitched them together in Photoshop, then sent me the file which I cleaned up at Picnik.com.

Though it was relatively clear when I got up this morning, I noticed the temperature (38) and dewpoint (37) were very similar to what they were on Monday morning, when I got some great fog shots.  Waiting an hour or so allowed the fog to form and the sun to rise.  I was rewarded for both my patience and the drive up to McClure Pass to capture these images.
