Getting to know your subject
When I decided that my photographic career would be the Florida Landscape I had to devise a method that would keep me focused and productive. I was also interested in producing a body of work of some value but also of some variety. Creating portfolios from various areas gave me the opportunity to focus on a certain location for a specified period and then move onto another area for a set time. This method of working also gave me the opportunity to view and photograph with some depth.
Another benefit of this method of working is you find yourself seeing interesting images sometimes next to each other, as seen in the St. Johns River images below. These were taken on the same day merely by swinging my tripod to the right and moving slightly.

Using backlight when photographing
I can create a soft, even, but well lit image by using back light in certain situations. You can see two examples from the images below. The one on the left is from the Tomoka River Basin & Ocean Shore (image #0007) and the one on the right is from the Spruce Creek (image #0041) portfolio.

Are your eyeglasses fogging up?
I was having a lot of trouble with my glasses fogging up in the summer while photographing. I went to a dive shop and was told that if I cleaned my glasses with plain Pledge it would alleviate this problem.
