Lead-in line—a fence along the Dallas Divide.

Because the natural world has given Fielder so much, he works to preserve the wild and open spaces. He treats the land with respect. In return he is able to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of different places, and share those encounters with others through his photos.

Fielder plans each trip with great care and love, and scouts out each location so that he can always take his best shots.

Eight Tips for Taking Your Best Shot

Scout the area before you begin. Figure out what will make a good picture and when the light will be right.

Shoot photos as the sun comes up and as it goes down, when shadows are broad and colors intense.

Look for complementary colors. Photograph trees with orange leaves against a blue sky or red flowers in a field of green.

Search for patterns and shapes, such as a row of tree trunks or rocks in a riverbed, to make photos more dramatic.

Try shots with your main subject off to one side or near the top or bottom of your photo to create an “off-center” balance.

Make sure the land and sky don’t always meet in the center of your pictures. Make the picture onethird land and two-thirds sky, or one-third sky and two-thirds land.

Use lead-in lines. Compose your photo with a road, trail, or fence line that starts somewhere out of the frame and runs right into the picture.

Shoot, shoot, shoot. Take lots of photos. As with any other skill you learn, the more you practice, the better you’ll get.
