Flat Light and Ice

Photographing the natural world is so easy to do but so hard to do well. For those of us who insist on trying anyway, The Morning News has an interview with freelance photographer Tim Gasperak that touches on subjects such as how to "keep your nature shots from looking dull."

"Once I have some idea of what I’m trying to communicate (and sometimes it’s just a feeling), I try to challenge myself to do it in a way that isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Sometimes it takes a few tries to purge the stock, dull attempts, and in that struggle I think is where the magic lies."

Gasperak's gallery of images from a recent trip to Iceland shows that he knows how to practice what he preaches.
