		<description><![CDATA[It can be useful to consider the 4 dimensions when considering a composition; 1) Right Vs Left Useful for considering the alignment of your foreground objects. If you consider the horizon-up as background, and the land leading to the horizon as the middleground, then it is this Left-right dimension which helps you position the foreground [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can fixed focal length possibly give a landscape photographer an advantage in terms of composition? Many people come on a photo tour with a full range of focal lengths. These are usually spread over 3 lenses; 14-24mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm. They then ask me &#8220;What lenses do you have?&#8221; My response is invariably &#8217;24mm [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think of your composition as telling a story. 1) Background; this is normally the sky but not necessarily. It could be a sheer mountainside, glacier or other. 2) Middle ground; this would typically be the ground leading to the background, it could be a field, ocean, desert or any interesting terrain. 3) Foreground; this is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love sea-scapes! The potential for good photographs at the seaside is endless. Whether it is rocky, craggy, sandy or pebbles, the capture of the ocean interacting with these elements is challenging and fun. Wet sand makes a fantastic reflective surface. This requires patience and a bit of forward thinking. The trick is to wait [...]]]></description>
