Hi all,
Being a amateur photographer, and even newer to landscape photography I have a question:
In landscape photography, how do you find photos??
In bird and wildlife photography, finding (or identifying) the subject is relatively easy. You see a bird, you photograph it. You see the critter, you photograph it. (Okay, so I know it's not that easy; but you get my point.)
But in landscape photography, I'm finding it different. I can walk through a gorgeous set of woods; and yet nothing really stands out (photographically speaking). I don't see any pictures. Sometimes the subject is obvious, like a waterfall or some such thing, but a lot of time it's not.
So, how do you find your photos??
Hope I'm making sense!!
Paul
P.S. For what it's worth; I don't live in a place of grand vistas, and as a student I can't travel.
