"If you hear a voice within you saying ‘You are not a painter,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced."
It’s not always possible to get out and take great landscape photographs. Foul weather, lack of transport and complaining children are among the many reasons that make us feel we would rather stay put for the day.
An alternative to braving the elements is to create a Tabletop Landscape in the comfort of your own home. You can photograph it at your leisure and even enjoy a nice cup of tea at the same time.
Be inventive with what you’ve got to hand and create fantastic landscapes using everyday objects.
