Photographing terrain

Another neat series of articles about taking pics, from basics to special effects.  I am again reminded that I need to sort out my lighting if I ever want to do anything about improving my images

  1. I need to do this myself but it seems very professional even for me:D

  2. Yah, lighting is everything but who has the gear?
    I try to use a tripod and slow shutter speeds in indirect sunlight - but mostly I just point the camera and let the auto sort it out. Paint Shop Pro sorts out many issues.

  4. Agreed re your photos looking mighty fine, anyway. For lighting, digital or filmic, I was once told that the best is provided by the sun, on a lightly day or in the shade of a tree. Kinda like for wedding photos. Have to say from my own past experiments that I agree. Of course, for the british and others from cloudy climes, that might not be an option.

  5. I really need to learn how to build a light box. I want to get into photography but I'm having the hardest time getting good lighting in my house. I think your photos look great, though.
