The advent of digital photography means that many people can now be as creative as they like with landscape photography without having to spend a fortune on developing their prints. In fact, with a reasonably priced camera anyone can take marvellous shots of almost anything and make canvas prints for gifts or to decorate their home.
Wildlife photography will take a little more patience; you must seek out or wait for wild animals, and have the knowledge to get just the right lens and lighting for great photos. But printing those shots costs nothing compared to printing out film in a darkroom. Since the cost is so small you can really get out and take lots of shots and this will help you to quickly find out just what works and what does not.
Beautiful landscape photography is easy to do; all you need is an eye for beauty and a camera and maybe a few different lenses if you want to get into taking more professional pictures. But even those little point and click cameras are capable of taking some stunning shots for those who have an eye to see the beauty in nature.
It could be an old tree with twisted branches rising against the backdrop of a soft pink sunset that attracts you. Or black rocks starkly silhouetted on a white beach at dawn. Such things are often taken for granted by many, but once you start to look around you with an eye to taking some great landscape shots you'll be amazed at what pops up.
When taking landscape photography, remember to really look at what is included in your viewfinder. It is easy to get so caught up with photographing a stunning sunset that you don't notice those power lines in one corner. But one the photo is printed out there they are, spoiling what would have been a beautiful landscape shot.
