_ATTENTION NATURE LOVERS AND ASPIRING LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHERS _
At Last A Step-By-Step Course Which Is Guaranteed To Have You Taking
Outstanding Landscape Photographs Even If You Have A Really Basic
Camera.
From _Doug Beckers_
Australia
_Dear fellow photography enthusiast _
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PHOTOS THAT REALLY CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF THE
LANDSCAPE, THEN READ ON.
Have you experienced the frustration of visiting a beautiful
location, taking dozens, if not hundreds of shots so you can relive
the beauty of the place every time you look at your photos? Except
when you get them home and look at them, all you really have is a
record that you were there.
YOU JUST HAVEN\'T BEEN ABLE TO CATCH THAT SPECIAL "THING", THE
ESSENCE OF THE PLACE THAT MADE IT SO SPECIAL?
I know exactly how you feel because until last year I was exactly
the same as you. I thought,
? _Why can some people visit the same location as me and come back
with a photograph that is simply awe inspiring? _
? _What do they know that I don't? _
? _Do they have fancy equipment and filters, or is their technique?_
I made it my mission to hunt down a great photographer and learn
from him. And that's exactly what I did. I found Erik Gunzel. Here's a
couple of my favourite photos of Erik's. As you can see, his photos
are simply inspiring:
Erik Gunzel is a leading Landscape Photographer who has perfected a
simple but very powerful technique for teaching anyone passionate
about photography to take memorable Landscape Photographs. He taught
me and I'm proud to say I have had some wonderful success with my
photography since then.
How a frustrated amateur photographer uncovered the secret to take
outstanding landscape photographs and then went on to win a
photography competition just one month later.
That frustrated amateur photographer was me. Let me tell you a story
and why I am so grateful that I met Erik Gunzel and how you can easily
get results like me.
I'm an ecologist and I work in some of the most beautiful areas of
Australia. Every time I head out into the bush I take my camera with
me. It is one of my greatest ambitions to take beautiful photographs
of the natural areas I visit, areas that very few people get to see. I
want to capture the beauty of the Australian landscape and inspire
other people to get out and explore as well.
After a field trip, I would sort through the hundreds of photographs
I had taken, and only a few of them would go even close to capturing
the beauty of the area I had just visited. Talk about frustrating.
I had done a couple of courses in the past and had a basic
understanding of how my camera worked and how to take a good photo,
_BUT SOMETHING WAS ALWAYS MISSING._
Does this sound familiar?
Why can photographers like Erik visit the same place as me and come
home with something awe inspiring while I come home with something
that is really just a record that I have been there?
How does he do it?
Then I met Erik Gunzel. I first heard about Erik when I saw an
exhibition of his at the Regional Art Gallery. There on the wall was a
series of photographs of Maitland Bay beach. One is the same
photograph on the cover of his Landscape Photography DVD I'll tell you
about in a minute. Here are a few of the photographs he had exhibited
there.
I walk to Maitland Bay every week. It's only 20 minutes walk through
the bush from my home. I've taken dozens of photos of Maitland Bay at
different times of the day. It is truly one of the most beautiful
places in the world, yet I could never capture that beauty.
There on the gallery wall were photographs of Maitland Bay that
stopped me dead in my tracks. He had captured what I could see but had
never been able to capture myself.
THAT WAS IT. I MADE IT MY MISSION TO TRACK DOWN ERIK AND LEARN HIS
SECRETS. I WANTED TO BE AS GOOD AS HIM! IT TURNED OUT WE LIVE IN THE
SAME LITTLE TOWN. IT ALSO TURNED OUT THAT I WASN'T THE FIRST PERSON TO
SEEK HIM OUT TO LEARN FROM.
As well as being an incredibly talented photographer, Erik's also a
really nice guy who is passionate about sharing his love of
photography. Erik has taught photography for years and over that time
has developed a very simple but powerful system to teach Landscape
Photography.
HE EVEN WENT THAT ONE STEP FURTHER AND CREATED A HOME STUDY COURSE
FOR PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T MAKE IT TO HIS "ON LOCATION" CLASSES. THIS IS
THE COURSE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN TODAY.
I bought this course and methodically worked through all of the
lessons, did the exercises and lost count of how many times I viewed
the video. I discovered what it was that I was missing. Erik covered
the basics of using my camera (and in a much clearer way than I had
ever been taught before) but the thing he taught me which I had never
learnt before, was how to see.
I mean REALLY SEE!
NONE OF THIS "MATHEMATICAL APPROACH" TO COMPOSITION (who's going to
do that when you're trying to catch the essence of the shot)
AND NONE OF THIS "YOU HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST" RUBBISH that makes it
seem as though you either have the skill or you don't.
INSTEAD, ERIK TEACHES A METHODICAL, YET FLEXIBLE METHOD WHICH ANYONE
WHO IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING PHOTOGRAPHY CAN USE. I'll tell you how
Erik's Landscape Photography Home Study Course has sky-rocketed my
photography career in a moment, but first let me tell you about Erik's
course and how you can get a copy for yourself.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN WHEN YOU GET THE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY HOME
STUDY COURSE:
DIGITAL VERSION OF THE HOME STUDY COURSE MANUAL "THE ART OF SEEING"
is an 80 page manual of pure content, exercises and demonstration
colour photographs. No padding like you see in a lot of other courses.
As well as takling you step-by-step from the basics top the more
advanced techniques and professional secrets
YOU ALSO GET.....
Exercises and cheat sheets after each section so you can put into
practice what you have learnt, then check out Erik's self assessment
guides.
You can read this online or print it out to start working on at
home. It is created in Adobe PDF and we provide you with a link to the
free software so you open it immediately.
6 STEP-BY-STEP VIDEOS SHOT ON-LOCATION
If you're an amateur photographer like me, then you're pretty
visual. You learn by reading and listening but you really need to see
things yourself as well. That's why this course is so good.
You also get a series of movies that Erik has specially created so
you really see how it all works. You can see how Erik chooses his
compositions, the locations he works in, and he even takes you on a
night shoot so you can see how to capture the landscape in a way that
very few photographers do.
VIEW THE VIDEOS ON-LINE
You can start learning immediately. As soon as your order is
completed you will get immediate access to all the videos. We have
provided them in 4 different formats so you can choose to view them
streaming on-line or download them to your own computer to watch
later.
The videos are suitable for Macs and PCs.
DOWNLOAD THE VIDEOS TO YOUR VIDEO IPOD
Do you have a new video iPod or plan to get one? You can download
all the chapters of the video to your iPod so you can take Erik with
you next time you head out into the field to take landscape
photographs.
How good is that? If you need to revise how to take that perfect
shot you can do it there on the spot before you take the photograph.

YOU CAN SEE HOW VALUABLE THIS COURSE IS. LET ME TELL YOU HOW IT HAS
CHANGED MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER...
Only a few months after competing Erik's Landscape Photography Home
Study Course I entered a local photographic competition - and won!
That really boosted my confidence. Now my photographs have been
published in nature journals, national parks publications, posters and
now even display boards used at the entrance of tracks in local
national parks.
Here's the photo I took that won the competition
THE THING IS, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS DONE ERIK'S COURSE AND
GONE ON TO CREATE FANTASTIC LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHS.
Erik introduced me to a few of his other students the other week
when I dropped in on one of his advanced "on-site" courses. I met
Michael and Eileen. Eileen really inspired me. She's about 75years of
age and told me _"I have a new camera which I left in its box for a
week. I was too scared to take it out. I have come to this late in
life. I love it. Thank you Erik for opening my eyes". _
Michael is a lot younger than Eileen and works as an accountant. I
guess working in an office all day, photography is his release. When I
asked him what he thought of the Landscape Photography Home Study
course I couldn't shut him up! He said_ "It's a great course with a
progressive teaching style. After just 2 days you find yourself
exploring with your eyes wherever you go". _And I have to say, I agree
with him.
SO WHY AM I OFFERING YOU ERIK GUNZEL'S LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY HOME
STUDY COURSE?
Erik has actually been selling this course for quite while through
local camera shops and colleges. But he's a photographer, not a
marketer. He just wants to concentrate on taking great photographs and
running photography classes. But I am so passionate about this home
study course that I think every amateur photographer should have the
opportunity to own it. So I have but this website together and agreed
that I would do all the work to make sure you receive the course, and
get answers to any questions you may have.
THAT IS WHY I HAVE THIS SPECIAL OFFER FOR YOU TODAY. I'm not really
sure how much to charge for The Landscape Photography Home Study
Course. I know it is excellent value but everyone else doesn't know
yet. So, I am offering it at a low price to start with and asking
people to send us their success stories after they have completed the
course (you could be one!). When we have enough testimonials to put on
this site, people will understand the value of the course, and I will
increase the price.
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU EXPECT TO PAY FOR THE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY HOME
STUDY COURSE? There are a few courses available on-line. I know, I
checked them all out when I was looking for help. Most of them fall
into one of 2 categories. Either they are an e-book which has some
good info but leaves you with a lot of questions - they are really
just introductions to the topic. The other courses, which I seriously
considered, look great. The only problem is they are run through
photography schools so the courses go for months and you have to work
at their pace. You also don't know how good a photographer the tutors
are. And they are expensive. The cheapest one I found was $450 but
most were over $1000, many in the range of $2500. You may decide to do
that later on, but with Erik's course, you can work at your own pace,
with excellent teaching material and start taking great photos NOW,
rather than months down the track.
I COULD EASILY ASK $297 FOR THIS COURSE, BUT WHILE WE'RE LAUNCHING
THE SITE I'M GOING TO CUT THE PRICE TO JUST A FRACTION OF THAT.
So for today, you can have the whole Home Study Course, that's the
manual and the series of movies ready to access or download to your
computer in a just a few short minutes FOR JUST $97. That's less than
I paid for it when I bought it last year. It's even less than it will
cost you to frame just one of the excellent photographs you will be
take after finishing this course.
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BUY NOW, OR YOU CAN READ ON AND I'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT MY GUARANTEE AND HOW I AM TAKING ALL THE RISK.
