"Pick your subject carefully. Try to keep it simple. If there are too many points of interest, the eye will jump around and the result is never satisfying."

 

"It's not necessarily the camera which one uses that 'makes or breaks' a good picture, but that it is the person behind it who conceives with eyes and mind the end results, before pressing the shutter release."

 

"Every landscape will have its special problems, its own combinations of elements which must be juggled correctly to gain a harmonious, meaningful picture."

 

"The best light is not directly at noon when the sun is high and shadows, that can add such interest to the picture, are reduced to a minimum. That doesn't mean to put the camera away at high noon. This overhead light can be successfully used for details, such as close-ups of flowers."
