To apply the lessons of creative landscape photography, one must first acquire them. These days, most people the world over turn to the internet. Why? There's a huge wealth of knowledge and resources to be had - video training, for one thing... and the fact that these courses are administered electronically allows these courses to be wildly inexpensive for there intense value.
Why try to learn from thick manuals when you can have someone show you all you need to know about cameras and capturing scenery? Learn from example, and from experience. Take the advice of those teaching excellent techniques in creative landscape photography, and put it to good use. Gain your experience while you gain your knowledge.
Try this; experiment with some creative filtering techniques, and wrap an old cellophane candy wrapper that's lightly tinted with color around a lens filter for an interesting effect.
Try taking a photo with much subject matter at the horizon (or in the horizontal center of view), and not much going on above and below. Now you crop the top and bottom of the image for a dramatic panoramic or "letterbox" type of photo.
Try taking some photos of the landscape in the early mornings and late evenings - the low-level sun works better to pick out shadows and bring out the detail in the various textures of the landscape... this is creative landscape photography.
Will you be able to take breathtaking photos with the camera that you have? Expensive camera sets are excellent tools, yes. But in order to take superb photos of the quality to be considered worthy of National Geographic magazine, you can use any camera at all. Super-pricey cameras, cheap and simple cameras, or digital cameras as well, even the most basic kind. To develop a better sense of creative landscape photography, and to gain an artist's eye that can truly see, is what courses found online help you achieve.
