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.


A pair of bucks were grazing in front of my house this evening


I happened to be walking through the living room when I saw two bucks in front of the house.  Knowing how easily they spook, I ran quickly and quietly to the garage and grabbed my camera from the car.  I turned up the ISO to 640 because the light was fading, and took a few photos from inside the house.  Then, ever so slowly and quietly, I opened the front door and crept out on to the deck.  They didn't notice me, and I was able to walk a few steps out to get a better view.  From then on, they would occasionally look up, and I had to remain motionless until they were convinced I wasn't there (or wasn't a threat).
