Landscape photography can be a rather "in your face" genre at times, where grand, sweeping scenes immediately capture the viewer's eye and draw them into the image. And while those make for fantastic images, there is a lot of subtle beauty in the genre as well. This insightful video tutorial discusses the art of the subtle in the genre and offers some nice tips for photographing wildflowers.
Coming to you from Adam Gibbs, this great video tutorial discusses photographing the subtle in landscape photography and offers some good advice for working with wildflowers. Besides distinguishing yourself from the pack a bit, I think one of the greatest benefits of focusing on subtler scenes in landscape work is the sheer abundance of potential subjects. Usually, the sort of grand scenes we are used to are few and far between, requiring significant time and effort to get to. On the other hand, something like a beautiful wildflower patch can often be found with far less exertion, and you can usually find your next subject just a short walk away as well. So, the next time you head out, look for the little things as well. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Gibbs.
