Will you critique my landscape photos?

I went to a nature preserve park to take photos of my daughter and I was unable to resist the temptation to take some landscape photos.

Your action photos are better than the landscapes. Part of the problem is you were shooting in the wrong part of the day. Overhead lighting does not make for compelling landscapes.

#6281 is my favorite of the landscapes. Your subject and composition is sort of split between the fence and the road. Choose one and base the image flow on it. A lower viewpoint would improve the composition with the road.. In this light, I would prefer the fence to be prominent subject here instead. There are some interesting looking yellow plants/flowers in the background that might add some extra color and definition. The top is cropped a little too close to the treetops, leave a bit of head room for the trees.

Here is a link for beginning composition, including leading lines:

Here is a road shot, just for fun:

As you can see, light was everything in this picture. Without the low light angle, this image would be static indeed.

I will be in the San Diego area next week, so I am looking forward to some photo-ops of my own. Sometimes you can’t be at a location at the perfect time to get good lighting, especially when you are traveling through unknown locations. If the light is not good, I like to concentrate on details rather than vistas.

Look at good landscapes in magazines and books. “Outdoor Photographer” is a good magazine to begin with. The National Audubon Society has a good little book on landscape photography. Here is one of my favorite sites:

Also Galen Rowell and Ansel Adams, of course.

Continue shooting, I like what I saw. It’s in you.

Oops! Just noticed one of my “favorite sites” is the wrong link! Here you go instead:
