Landscape Photos

Landscape photos are surprisingly tricky to take. There's something that happens inside your head that makes looking at the real landscape enjoyable, but that something is usually not in the photo.

The trap that amateur photographs, including me, fall in to is trying to capture too much of a scene. As a result, the landscape photo which is supposed to contain a lot of interesting things ends up containing nothing in particular.

Still, even knowing that my efforts will result in something less than breathtaking, it's fun trying. I try to look for interesting clouds or vibrant colors in an effort to convey the feeling I had when I took the photo. Doesn't always work of course.
