Into the Landscape – Strategies to Improve your Landscape Photography
Landscape photography has been, and still remains the most popular style of
photography. Whether you travel the world, or just explore your local area there are
countless photo opportunities that exist for the landscape photographer. Peter
Baumgarten has been a passionate outdoor photographer for over 40 years.
In this presentation, Peter discusses the challenges and joys of landscape photography and the compositional strategies he employs “to get the shot”.
“Seeing differently. It’s what I try to do with every photo I capture.”
“The challenge in photography is taking a scene that is visible to anyone who cares to
look and presenting it in a uniquely artistic way.”
Peter Baumgarten is an award-winning professional photographer and educator based
on Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest fresh water Island in Ontario, Canada. He has
lead photography courses and workshops for novice and enthusiast photographers
and travels across North America as an OM SYSTEM Ambassador providing lectures
and seminars on landscape, wildlife, and astrophotography. His love of photography
has also become a great excuse to continue his other passion – exploring the great
outdoors through wilderness camping, canoeing and kayaking.
“Composition is everything, and settings don’t matter – or at least not as much as you
think they do.”
