Recently, on arriving Buttermere, Cumbria, UK, I encountered this beautiful scene of the lake. Not long after I captured this image, the breeze set in. All the reflections of the water disappeared within a split of seconds. I think what make landscape photography challenging to a photographer is the ever changing mood of the site. Act quickly whenever the condition is favorable to you. Otherwise, you will miss an image forever.
While I was capturing “Impression Of London”, I saw a child in action. I think candid photography is endless especially at a busy place of central London. Such an image requires your observation and response within a split of seconds.
Llyn Gwynant, Snowdonia, Wales, is a beautiful lake even seen at a distance. I love the touch of light on the slope. Such a lighting condition disappears very quickly but adds sparkles to the image. The mood of scene is just right for this beautiful area. Previous day on arrival at this site, I have seen this area fully bathed in the late afternoon sunlight. It was just too glare and harsh for capturing a good landscape image.
Lighting really plays an important role in landscape photography.
