    Very nice shot with the juniper in the foreground. I’ve not seen images of it with snow. May I ask what time in winter you visited?

    Really lovely shot of Marlboro Point, a place I still haven’t reached. I especially like the soft subdued colors of the sky. A winner for me!

    Enjoyed your presentation of Badwater, especially the pre-dawn color of the salt. Makes me want to make it out to Badwater very early next time I visit DV.

    Love the last paragraph, sums it up perfectly. True also, the camera is just a computer now, but the skill of the operator, both in camera and post, make all the difference. I, personally, will take an image anywhere I want, but like Matisse, I never forget the viewer, and seek to create a story with beauty & grace. I am, of course, aware of the ugliness that exists in the world, but it only inspires me to show the beauty that exists here on this miraculous planet all the more.

    My challenge is to go many of these places and come up with a completely different look. Some of us have major physical limitations, so climbing 4000 ft ridge lines, or hiking 20 miles in is no longer an option. I do plan to get a high end fat EBike to haul my gear and work at finding such spots. With a new hip and fresh batteries, I hope to be ready to go this coming spring!

    DERWENT RESERVOIR, NOT ‘DERWENT WATER’’ which is in the Lake District!

    Sorry to be pedantic, but Geographical Accuracy is important.

    An interesting story, particularly about having a respirator in storage for what I assume are sandstorms in foreign deserts? In any case, I live on the East Coast and, except for a week-long trip to San Francisco/Yosemite/Big Sur about 35 years ago, I’ve never visited the West Coast. So I have no idea where the landscapes shown in this story were taken. All at the same location? Please inform me.

      Most of the pictures in my story were taken in the State of Nevada. One of the images was taken in southern Utah. However, all of the images, as mentioned, were taken in remote or extremely remote areas of the southwestern USA. The reason that most were taken in Nevada is because the nonprofit organizations for whom I was working needed images from that state, primarily.

      Commenting briefly: The cover image is from a geologically young volcanic field in central Nevada. The hoodoo is from Grand Staircase Escalante N.M., Utah. The Joshua Tree snow is not from the national park, which is in California, but from similar lands in southern Nevada. The images of a small and large lake are from remote central and northern Nevada areas. The red rocks are from southern Nevada which has the same sandstones as nearby southern Utah.

      I hope you will have a chance to visit this area sometime. Chip Carroon

    I also love photography, as a hobby. This includes landscape photography. I love it for the same reasons as you mention above in your article. But also as part of my “memory” bank. One tends to forget the details of all those special moments out in nature, but my image collection that I took over the years, helps to bring back the details of those moments, helps me to relive it, and to share the stories behind the images with others. I figured, one day when I am too old to venture outside in nature, camera in hand, I will still have my image collection (and the memories along with it).

    As you know, processing is also important to the “final” image and (for better or worse) is often what seperates better pictures/photographers from those w/out this skill set.

    As you say, current cameras/lenses have removed most of the learning curve that was previously required to master the craft side….while Composition, Intent, Mother Nature, Light and a litte luck are still Kings for Landscape photographers. And just because a location has been photographed before does not mean being present & seeing/exploring the location for the first time yourself (e.g. Bryce Canyon) can’t be as impressive as anyone elses previous encounter/pictures.

    Couldn’t agree more! My friend and family love my photographs, and while they say I could make money selling them, it’s not why I do it…(also, I’m really not as good as they think)

    I used to say I chose landscape photography over portraits because, a tree never asked me if it could see the picture afterwards, shoot another from higher up so it looked slimmer, take another because it’s leaves weren’t just right. I really chose landscape because I can get lost in it, and I can sometimes show the things God put right in front of us, but we overlook everyday. I’d rather shoot landscapes and make nothing, than a wedding and make hundreds.

    I have subscribed to two photography magazines for twenty plus years. Having read two of the articles in the last newsletter I feel as though I have been reminded why I love photography. Learning to see in a unique way and having the courage to say “ Please look at what I can do.” has given me a boost to do what I believe will give me great satisfaction. Thank you and I will anticipate each new issue.

    Hi Karren,
    To be honest, the branch isn’t an issue for me and you are the first person to mention it. With an image like this, I find it far more important to capture the mood you feel at the time of capturing, and sometimes it’s not always so important to get the technical shot as can often lead to a lifeless shot with no character. So no the branch doesn’t feel like an uh-oh to me, it’s simply part of a scene from a series of images from this particular woodland. Each image has a similar feel and also has the odd technical issue, but I can assure you they don’t lack atmosphere and they have been a great success for me.

    HI,
    I enjoyed your article and may look into the Zeiss 24-70. That one size(among others) is missing from my line up of landscape lenses. It is one I have thought of purchasing from Canon. I have the Tamron 150-600 and find it works well. I purchased the 1.4x and recommend it as well.

    In terms of safety it is important to understand that waves come in different sets so a very large sneaker wave may be the 5th wave in the 3rd set of waves. Important to know this when the surf is going so as to not get swept out to sea, or at the very least not to have your equipment drenched in salt water.

    Also, some lenses were made to be sold in the US, and others were made to be sold elsewhere in the world. Some factory authorized service centers in the U.S. are forbidden from repairing any lens which was not intended for sale within the U.S. That means you have to ship your lens overseas for service, with wait times in the months. So check with the buyer.

    Another piece about monochrome which is nice to see. It’s often the case when interest wanes in a particular area that promoters look for a change to reignite enthusiasm.
    It’s happened before in relation to the use of colour in social photography. After the many years when there was only monochrome the introduction of reliable colour printing gave a commercial boost to the market. Twenty five years on with the market stabilised a change was required and people who had only known colour were introduced to ‘Silvertones’, Black and white by another name.

    Black and white never went away it was only resting. Monochromatic images are often the most successful even in colour.

    Before colour was available flowers were still a favourite subject. With relatively slow materials flowers did not move much allowing a leisurely approach.
    Not being able to show any colour viewpoint, lighting and creative camera work was necessary. When using a chromatic film, colour filters could be used to control tonal values. Digital conversion from colour can now be controlled in a similar way in monochrome pallets.

    There are excellent examples in the work of Robert Mapplethorpe.

    It’s all good advice and it’s all true. As a well retired professional from a different era it appears that little has changed. Similar advice was around before the 1960s.
    Even then many part time photographers dreamed of becoming professional, only a few were prepared to do the necessary work.
    Now taking photographs and distributing them is easier than ever which makes more people think how nice it would be to swan around the world with a camera. Dream on just as they did then..

    Sadly for many photography is now so easy it has little value especially monetarily. There was always a problem among practitioner about how much a photograph was worth. As the article suggests pretty pictures are legion and being able to create a silk purse from a sows ear may be worth paying for. Transforming a dull subject into art is a skill that takes time to learn, and teaching how can be more lucrative than trying to do it. I know as I have done both.

    Take care with education especially self education as this can take longer and lead you up many blind alleys. A more formal course based on proven principles can save much time and help you decide where to go next. It is not always the case that one who is considered a ‘good’ photographer will be the best instructor as teaching is a skill in itself.

    Thank you for this. When it comes to art, I think that it needs to stand on its own two feet. I don’t see the inherent demand for it to serve anything beyond itself. Having said that, I am a person with fundamental values that transcend my art. And for me, they are clearly more important than my art. My goal in life is to embody kindness and compassion. I seek to have everything that I am and everything that I do to flow out of that. Thus, I personally seek to use my art in the service of kindness and compassion. For example, a few years ago, I had a friend (although not a close friend) who was dying of cancer. I asked for his permission to every day send him a photograph that I hoped would bring beauty and joy, and hopefully, some dimension of healing to his life. I learned from his closest friend that doing this accomplished just what I hoped that it would. Does art have the prerogative of demanding this kind of behavior. My answer would be, No. But does who I am when I am the best of who I am demand it, Absolutely.

    While this article is nice, it is only the tip of the iceeberg and what is really important, and it concrns me just like it concers the author when people does landscape shots at f/22 (which is not a problem when your min f is 45 btw) is that the article is lacking of any example image of the effects of diffraction.

    How can someone who didn’t knew anything about diffractionn properly identify it’s issues without any kind of visual reference?

    I remember when i was studying optics and how difficult was to transport the abstract theory to the practical application, same goes here, those who first meet diffraction through this article have no visual references to identify it, not even an accurate description of what to look for.

      Here is a quick answer. If your lens allows you to use aperture f/45 (I assume you are talking about full frame and not large format), then take a picture at f/5.6 and the same picture at f/45. Now zoom in 100% at the point where you have focused and you will see exactly what diffraction does, the f/45 picture will be a lot less sharp than the f/5.6 one.

    This is written by a man after my own heart. Preparation and awareness is essential for continuous fine photography. It is as Adams said part of the making of a photograph and not just the taking.
    It applies to landscape as the article illustrates but also to all other areas of photography.
    The check list as it were was interesting but for me apart from the addition of a torch, one thing was missing and that was an exposure meter, hopefully one that can read incident light.
    While appreciating the many modern digital applications I sometimes wonder how I managed with a magnetic compass, an analogue watch, a selection of OS maps and the occasional use of tide tables. Smile.

    Having just come back from sailing in the Greek islands south of Athens I cannot understand why anyone would want swap Greece for Scotland
    PS I have nothing against Scotland apart from the weather and midges

    Perhaps Dimitri prefers unpredictable weather to warm sunshine and ever ending blue sky's.

      My apologies but this article was submitted by one of our readers in order to help others. You will need to reed the instructions carefully and follow them to the letter. If you are not confident enough to proceed, I would suggest to get someone else to help. It is impossible for us to know what is going on in your PC.

      I understand this is not the answer you were expecting but it is the only one I can give you. I believe you need to be slightly advanced with computers to follow the article. I am a mac user myself and haven’t used this little program, hopefully someone else might be able to help you.

    I. trying this and it gives me a msg that I should deactivate my antivirus because it's blocking the application, should I do that? it seems kinda fishy to me. I'm having a similar issue where my memory stick is being read by my laptop however when I try to see the files I can't but if I check them from my camera the files are all there. What should I do? 🙁

      Hello Patty

      No one can tell you what you should do, you need to make this decision yourself. If this helps, I believe that your antivirus system thinks the software is not legitimate, however, many people have tried it and it works fine. Going ahead with this will be your own choice.

    THANK YOU so much for posting this! I just had an experience with a corrupt card (it was recalled by the manufacturer for this problem) and this worked for me. I tried a different site from ehow.com first and that did not work. This however did. I am soooo grateful, it recovered about 2500 lost pics and videos. i will definitely be making a contribution to their website.
    Thanks again for the posting!

    Thanks for bringing me another "Aha" moment as I piece together my understanding of photography. My main interest is underwater photography, but your explanation of diffraction touches all specialties. Thank you again.

    I have only just learnt about diffraction today, and I'm glad I have. There are a lot of things to take in when starting out with photography.

    I have a burning desire to take landscape photos, and at the moment my equipment consists of a Canon 550D and a Canon NiftyFifty. I'm planning to buy a Tokina 11-16 UWA so I can get more serious about landscape photography.

    I'm one of those people who just naturally assumed f/22 would be the best – irrespective. I took some photos of a sunset last night and was quite disappointed with the results, and I think if I had taken this into account then the results may have vastly improved.

    I know what I'm going to be doing tonight haha.

    Thanks for this valuable information!

    Chris.

    A good, informative article. I would add that before going out on a shoot, make sure to charge your batteries, clean your lenses/sensors.

    Also, you "Cockin filters" Should be "Cokin filters"

    Thanks for the article

    Invaluable advice Dimitri, and not something that beginners are often aware of. I have some otherwise great shots of a cliffscape that I drove for hours to reach, at low tide, in the perfect evening glow, beautifully composed and exposed, but unfortunately they are soft as an overipe banana because in my ignorance I set my Nikon D200 to f22! ..I've never made the same mistake again.

    Whilst the plethora of slideshows and video clips LPM chuck at us are OK I suppose, it's simple, pratical tips and techniques like this, that are what a lot of us most appreciate I think.

    Keep up the good work!

    Nice one. Added for future reference.

    I did something similar a few years ago – told linux to erase as it offloaded, which it misinterpreted as `erase and then fail to offload then sit and gibber for a while. In my case, I found http://www.foremost.sourceforge.net (also open-source) which rescued the JPEGs – luckily I'd been shooting both RAW+JPEG – and one of them is now a portfolio image of mine!

    Incidentally, it should be pointed out how this fits in a maximum-safety workflow:
    a) every session starts by formatting the card, in camera
    b) you offload, backup, process, backup some more
    c) all the while you're processing, the card has the raw images
    d) goto A.
