Learning From The Best

I recently had the great opportunity to go to learn how to take better pictures with professional landscape photographer, John Fielder.

I was very happy to learn about my brand new Canon EOS M100 as I had gotten it very recently. I used both my wide angle and zoom lenses to capture nature’s beauty.

We took pictures of lilacs, sunflowers, aspens and meadows with the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in the distance.

We learned many things that will help me on my upcoming travels. The main three are:

Don’t take the same picture everyone else would take. For example, if you are taking a photo at sunset, do not just take a photo of the sky, find something that the light looks interesting on.

Make the photos interesting. If you have something interesting in the distance, make sure you either get just the distant subject or something interesting in the foreground too.
