  1. I agree with you that a lot of photographers get hung up on foreground interest. Obviously it's important for many shots but certainly not all of them. I think that's one of the reasons many landscape photographers are switching from wide-angle to telephoto as their main landscape lens. Compressing the background, bringing everything closer to the camera and focusing more on light, shape, texture etc. can create really powerful images. This also steers you away from taking those boring, repetitive postcard shots and allows for a more creative approach that show your unique view as an artist.

  2. Ross you inspire me to take better photos . i love nature and asp by the sea ,clouds asp. and sunrise or sunsets with a wide landscape view. .i get confused with all the maths and calculations , but your approach getting out in the open helps me to grasp the subject.your a good teacher and know you subject well. thanks a bunch.
