Landscape photography is I think in many ways one of the hardest genre’s of photography and certainly one of the more difficult to make a living from.  The search for a photograph is demanding and very time consuming and nothing beats experience.

Whilst in Las Vegas we have the opportunity to visit the gallery of Peter Lik, arguably one of the most prolific landscape photographers of our time.  Now there are some amazing landscapes out there to see if you look hard enough, digital photography has certainly made the skill more accessible.

To see inspirational imagery in the flesh is always very inspiring for me, the internet and books mostly sell the real stuff short but to see these images as the photographer intended can be great fun.  I have to say that the way Peters’ images are displayed is nothing short of amazing and has given me ideas for presenting some of my own work.

Inspired I decided to make some landscapes of my own.  These are not in the same league as his dedication to capturing the greatest of images is overwhelming and shows you what it takes to succeed in this, at times, fickle industry.

I don’t really do many landscapes but I would seriously like to rectify this if I can.  Maybe 2013 will be a year for landscapes after all.
