5 Landscape Photography Tips for Photographing Mountains

In our article today, courtesy of our friends at Picture Correct, Travis Silver, gives his tips for photographing mountains. 

"After graduating from photography school, I spent a good deal of my twenties photographing the cityscapes of New York. In my thirties, after I relocated to upstate New York, I discovered a new muse: the landscape. What’s so nouveau about the landscape? You’ll only understand this after living in a cramped, fifth floor walk-up apartment—with views topped only by brick walls—for years.

Anyone who went to photography school is familiar with “the golden hour”—that gorgeous time right before sunset or right after sunrise. It’s by far the best time to shoot landscape photography. Everything—and I mean everything—is gorgeous at this hour.

When I moved to the Adirondacks, I sought inspiration from the area’s numerous mountains and lakes. Though I’d attended various photography schools, studied with different photographers, and shot a good deal of (non-mountainous) landscape photography in the past, nothing prepared me for photographing mountains."  To read Travis's tips, follow this link..5 Landscape Photography Tips for Photographing Mountains.
