Landscape Photography
by: Colin Hartness
There are many different types of photography. You can
take pictures of anything and there is someone out there somewhere who
would like to see the pictures that you take. So, photography is a
great field to get into.
What is landscape photography?
Landscape photography is a great field of photography,
especially if you love nature and if you love to travel. You can travel
the world taking pictures of beautiful scenes across many countries. Of
course, this is landscape photography on a big scale. Not many people
are lucky enough to start off traveling the world.
But you can find beautiful landscapes right where you
live. That’s the great thing about nature, it’s everywhere, and
landscapes are everywhere. And that same sunset behind the mountain
that you’ve seen everyday since you were a kid may look pretty amazing
to someone who has never been to the mountains. Seeing the sun rise up
out of the oceanfront may be absolutely astonishing to someone who has
never been to the beach. It’s all relative.
What you may see every day is someone else’s treasure.
If you can open your eyes to the beauty and see it, then other people
can see it in your photography. It can be simple and everyday or it can
be vast and amazing. It’s all about the great pictures you take. You
may see a night city skyline, a series of lightening bolts or an
interesting cloud; it’s how you take the picture that makes it
beautiful to someone else.
How to Learn Landscape Photography
If you are serious about landscape photography, you
should take a course. You may have already had a course in photography
but you will want to take one specifically for landscape photography so
you can learn how to get the best pictures possible. You will want to
learn what film to use and how to work with the sunlight or other
natural light. You will also learn about achieving a sense of balance
and scale, how to photograph running water and similar issues that a
landscape photographer might face.
If you can’t find any appropriate classes in your area,
you can find them on the internet. You can also find many groups and
message boards designed for landscape photographers to meet, share
photos and tips and ideas. You can get tips and advice for your
questions if you join these groups. You can also view the work of
others, some that may be much more experienced than you. You can learn
from them and their photos.
How to Make Money with Landscape Photography
If you are considering landscape photography as a career
(even part time), the first thing you are going to want to do is learn
as much about it as possible; read books, take classes, visit websites.
Then you are going to want to practice, and build a portfolio. Your
portfolio should be updated often and only include your absolute best
work. You may want to send some of your best photos to photo contests
or magazines. These are good ways of breaking into the world of
professional photography when you have no experience. .

The Photography Portfolio: Building Your Reputation
by: Colin Hartness
If you have hopes of becoming a professional photographer, or even just of trying to get your work published in a public forum, you will need to create a photography portfolio. So what’s so important about a photography portfolio anyway?
There are many reasons why having a portfolio of your work available for others to view. If you are seeking employment as a photographer, then the need for a portfolio is obvious. If you are not seeking a photography job, there are still good reasons to have a portfolio. For one, you love photography and you take a lot a pride in your work.
