Photographing the North American Landscape

Nature Photography by Kerry Leibowitz

Photography Sites

Danny Burk Photography
I've had the privilege of shooting with Danny Burk--a truly gifted landscape photographer--on a number of occasions.  Check out his galleries and prepare to be awed.  Danny shoots almost exclusively with large and medium format film cameras and is painstaking in his printmaking.  Danny also offers in-field instructional workshops on exposure metering and hands on large format camera instruction as well as classroom sessions to help photographers get the most out of Photoshop.  I've attended one of his fall Smokies workshops as well as a trial session of the Photoshop course and I enthusiastically recommend both.

Tony Kuyper Photography
For a glorious look at the Colorado Plateau, be sure to check out Tony Kuyper's image gallery, including--but by no means limited to--some jaw-dropping abstracts.  

Tony is better at teasing the nuances of light and color out of an image than anyone I've run across and he has chosen to share some of the Photoshop tools he's developed to help him do so.  If you're serious about post-processing you owe it to yourself to check out the Tony's tutorials on Luminosity Masks and Saturation Masks.  I personally use the Photoshop actions for both types of masks on the vast majority of images I work up and I very, very highly recommend both.  At this point, I have a hard time imagining not having access to these tools for my own work.

Naturescapes.Net
NSN is a highly informative on-line nature photography venue, with a vibrant set of forums.  There are some exceptionally well-informed and experienced individuals who frequent this site who can be relied upon for accurate, candid information about all kinds of photographic and digital equipment.  The site also has a wide assortment of image forums covering all of the nature photography genres, most impressively (in my opinion) birds.

Nature Photographers Network
NPN is similar in format to NSN, but is a bit less active when it comes to equipment.  It's not a bad source of information by any means, it's just not quite as active in this regard.  However, NPN is frequented  by some of the most talented landscape photographers on the planet.  Posted work on the site is of exceptional quality.  Other nature photography segments (avian, wildlife, macro, etc.) are certainly represented, with consistently high quality as well.
