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.


The buck returns.... in better light


Deer are so prevalent in the U.S. that many people who don't live in urban areas can see them frequently.  Still, like most wildlife, there's an attraction to spotting them.

There are three bucks that have been visiting my neighborhood lately.  Often they come after sunset, and photographing them is difficult.  This one was grazing in front of my house yesterday evening about 6:30, and thus was easy to capture - if I didn't spook him.
