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.


Mt. Sopris, Carbondale, Colorado

Mt. Sopris is just a few dozen feet shy of 13,000 feet.  It can be seen from much of the Roaring Fork valley, and is admired for it's beautiful shape and the way it stands alone, almost like a sentinel guarding the Crystal River valley.


Depending on the season, weather, and time of day, Sopris can have many moods.  It's almost always very photogenic.  On this particular afternoon, the humidity of monsoon season was creating some very dramatic clouds.  With just enough sunlight hitting the northwest slope of the mountain, I had to pull over and take a few shots.
