Landscape photographers are a privileged lot. They get to experience the natural world, while taking it along home with them in pictures. Landscape photography is an important aspect of documenting our world. Open spaces are becoming scarcer as time goes on. The pleasure of photographing the beauty of nature brings not only pleasure to the eye; it serves to document our natural heritage, caught at a special moment in time. This course is designed to help you recognize that opportune moment where elements of photography combine to produce the strongest and most stunning landscape compositions. But our creations won't stop there. Once captured, they will be toned to perfection in PhotoShop, or whatever photo software you use. Take a walk with your camera and TCI on this one - and become one of those most privileged.

What you will need:

• DSLR camera or film camera (a scanner will be required if using the latter)
• Wide-angle lens (preferably a zoom)
• Circular polarizer
• Sturdy tripod
• A horizon level that fits your camera's hot shoe
• A cable release (if you are going to shoot in low light)
• Computer with Photoshop CS2, CS3, or CS4 or similar photo-processing software installed
• Optional equipment: a warming or skylight filter, Hoodman Loupe, and UV haze filter
