Landscape photography is very subjective, but most will agree that, to some form or another, following the rule of thirds will help achieve a great looking photo.  One way to do this is incorporating roads and paths into your frame that will enhance the overall composition of the photograph.  We've already showed you how to utilize the S-Curve in photography and many of these examples show you just how it's done.Breaking up the frame with properly placed lines from roads, paths and trails can really help bring your photograph to the next level.Photo by NrbelexPhoto by cindy47452Photo by Chuck “Caveman” CokerPhoto by conner395Photo by Kat...Photo by PörröPhoto by Shahram SharifPhoto by ecstaticistPhoto by Tambako the JaguarPhoto by Aitor EscauriazaPhoto by AuraeliusPhoto by telmo32Photo by /\/\ichael Patric|{Photo by caesePhoto by fdPhoto by Tony the MisfitPhoto by **Mary**Photo by GilmothPhoto by jenny downingPhoto by geoftherefPhoto by Amy V.

Burning Man is the annual festival of "radical self-expression" where 50,000 revelers gather in the Nevada desert for a week of art, anarchy, and community. Not for the faint of heart, Burning Man is a photographer's dream -- a surreal landscape populated by outlandish beings and incredible machines, all throbbing to a techno beat under the blistering desert sun. Here photographer Phil Steele shares 15 of his favorites from nearly a decade of documenting this American counter-culture phenomenon.Phil Steele is the founder of SteeleTraining.com, a photography training site where you can find free photo tutorials, including "How to Take Better Photos at Burning Man (and Beyond!).

Children have a way of melting our hearts, and whey they are young, they unknowingly do some amazing things.  Capturing these moments as they happen is something parents have been doing for decades, but today's technology allows us to easily share these little snippets of time with friends, family and even strangers.  Photography brings people together and helps us relive memories of yesterday.  Kids grow up fast so enjoy these 21 photos before they turn into teenagers then adults.Photo by Reinis TraidasPhoto by Vanessa Pike-RussellPhoto by creativesamPhoto by Edgar BaranyPhoto by °EliPhoto by marblegravyPhoto by Loving EarthPhoto by : : w i n t e r t w i n e d : :Photo by jameschewPhoto by Vermin IncPhoto by espresso marcoPhoto by kk+Photo by JPhilipsonPhoto by dhammzaPhoto by *Brunna Peretti Loureiro*Photo by LaurencePhoto by Bram & VeraPhoto by OzymanPhoto by Dave HoggPhoto by thejbirdPhoto by thejbird

We've covered how raw emotion can be had through black and white photos, and this set is no different.  The main difference we're showing in this collection of 26 suave black and whites is they were all done in the studio.  Creating light, rather than reflecting and refracting it in nature brings a whole new element to each of the shots.  Not only can pose and facial expressions tell the story here, how the photographer setup the lighting to create the emotion can really be felt.  Enjoy these studio shots, and please share your own in the comments.Photo by d u .r.

Raw horsepower and the ability to push a gas pedal or twist a throttle is perhaps one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world.  Right next to that in terms of amazing feelings is capturing that with your camera.  Motorsports photography is one of the most challenging and technical forms of photography to master.  Because of the speed at which the cars and bikes travel, there is a very small window of time to actually get the shot, and these 22 photos were nailed perfectly.Photo by www.ericcastro.bizPhoto by kptysonPhoto by david.ian.robertsPhoto by katiewPhoto by Patrick MayonPhoto by david.ian.robertsPhoto by www.ericcastro.bizPhoto by www.ericcastro.bizPhoto by Patrick MayonPhoto by paulwoolrichPhoto by Kol TregaskesPhoto by E01Photo by realnamePhoto by Martin.BPhoto by Diederick.79Photo by Arild AndersenPhoto by Patrick MayonPhoto by Michael.GBPhoto by daarkfirePhoto by Rob NightingalePhoto by Gordon FraserPhoto by Patrick Mayon

In June we focused on composing with negative space, and how powerful it can be to sometimes pull back as opposed to always filling the frame.  In this article, we'll share 25 images utilizing the negative space technique and showcase how it can be used to bring out emotions and feelings.Mostly focusing around people, including negative space for photographers for some reason tends to lead to the overall photo having some lingering emotion.  It can often include despair, loneliness, abandonment, anger, rage and sorrow, although happiness and joyfulness often do appear, not nearly as prevalent though.Enjoy this series of photos, and take note that most also follow the rule of thirds to help incorporate the negative space into the final image.Photo by Paco CTPhoto by Caro SparkPhoto by The Real EstreyaPhoto by [phil h]Photo by ChernobylBob (Away until Tuesday 20th)Photo by karlequinPhoto by fanglemanPhoto by foshydogPhoto by *¦·?????d·¦*Photo by Tony2Photo by Tiagø RibeiroPhoto by cryptic_starPhoto by pianetatschaiPhoto by Mai An HoaPhoto by Mikey Da PhotographerPhoto by angel_sharkPhoto by ChapendraPhoto by unclefuzPhoto by Zero StylePhoto by ttstamPhoto by `this.is.epicPhoto by kelby93Photo by Yogendra174Photo by Luke StearnsPhoto by Stitch

We've covered over and over again how powerful black and white photography can be, and how many still view it as the most pure form of photography.  What happens when you combine black and white photography with the earths most abundant, emotional and powerful resources?   Stunning seacapes that are simply breathtaking, eerie, and moving all at the same time.A good number of these photos were captured on long exposures, and having the ocean change on a near minute by minute basis, it's possible to capture great photographs nearly any time of day or night, with or without clouds, clear days or in haze.  The ocean is a mystical, calming and amazing part of our world, and these photos showcase just how eerie it can also be too.Photo by ecstaticistPhoto by rob surrealPhoto by TimboDonPhoto by mugleyPhoto by redeye^Photo by Brian AuerPhoto by midlander1231Photo by Mr ?
