I've been to my mountain house many times; however, I never once believed I could get good photos with snow. Equipped with a rock-hard will to get some photos and some prior knowledge of snow photography, I formulated some of these shots. Sadly a few didn't turn out how I would have liked, but...
Hi everybody,
What is the best gear I can use to get good winterish photographs?
I live in Finland and I always wanted to get good images during winter where everything gets snowy white and the cities are colorful. However sometimes my smatphone doesn't get the captures right. So now I'm...
I can't think of any reason to stop shooting beautiful winter snowy landscapes, There's just something about them. Again this was shot in Vitosha Mountain.
D850/24-70 @36mm / F11 / ISO64
Rising at 5:45am on a cold cold Sunday morning was an absolute treat as always! We drank a coffee, jumped into the car and headed up into the mountain to catch the sunrise from a viewpoint I've seen but not yet shot from.
Arriving just on the cusp of the blue hour, I jumped out of the car and...
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous and photographed waterfalls in Iceland, most known for being photographed from behind the water. Since I like to go to Iceland in winter, both for my Workshops and for my personal work, that is never possible: the access to the waterfall's back is closed...
Hey all!
I know Iceland is a subject du jour at the moment, and this isn't exactly an unknown location within Iceland... but I tried to have a slightly different take on it. Hopefully it's something fresh to you, and I hope you like it.
"God's Eye View"
Sharing these partially because I think they're decent shots, and also to continue my mini series on what I think of the Sigma 135 ART. I was a shooting a wedding and had hoped to use it for the majority of the day on one body, but the layout of the venue didn't lend itself to a prime lens.
I...
I took a walk through the fog the other day and got these. As somebody who used to push shopping carts for a living I find it simultaneously sad and gratifying.
I was hoping to get some shots like this and the weather provided, I think they came out very nicely. Perhaps the second would have benefited from a wider depth of field?
Went on a trip this past weekend and came across a Snowy Owl while taking my Sam (3y/o named Apollo) to the beach.
Pics just for sharing, enjoy!

I’m so new to photography I haven’t even purchased a camera yet, besides my iPhone. I love take pictures of the scenery I’m around when I travel and of my family and friends. I saw this picture and was so intrigued by how awesome it looked, with the snow and lighting that I was inclined to post...
I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but figured as it's a rather broad topic this forum would be best.
As winter temporarily reaffirms its frigid grasp on the Northern Hemisphere, it seems like a good time to review the basics of photography in extreme cold. From cold batteries to...
Hello,
Hopefully this is the right place to post this question. If not - my apologies, I'm new here :)
In about a week the company I work for is taking all the employees to do ski in Greece. Personally I don't ski, but I thought it might be a good opportunity to try and take some ski action...
This sub-forum seems a stagnate, so I figured I would post some stuff.
I'm in the process of switching out my Gopro 4's for Gopro 5's...including a modified 5. In the mean time I figured I would post up a video I shot in Boulder Colorado driving up Flagstaff mountain and ending at Boulder's...
Last night we had a mini storm. And like a fool I had to go check it out. I had a lot of fun outside.
Does anyone have any tips on shooting snow at night better? I was simply using auto/night landscape as nothing manual-ish I tried looked that great.
The last image is what I mean. I liked the...
I'm new to this site and hope to see many different kinds of photographs! I intend to post many of my photographs for others to see.
The photo below or where ever it's been placed, is a post winter storm evening with beautiful snow covered trees and a small stream which is on my property.
