What better way to get up and close to nature and take some gorgeous landscape shots than by camping out? And the great thing about camping out is that you not only get to take some incredible photos, but you’ll also get to go out on a great adventure. Besides photography purposes, this can be great for the physical and mental well-being of an individual. In today’s action-packed video, we have landscape photographer Thomas Heaton who shares his experience of camping out in the mountains:
The main agenda why Heaton heads out to camp is to take some sunset and sunrise photos. However, throughout his journey, he comes across many different photo opportunities for which he shares his photo techniques and thought-process.
An important thing that you can notice in the video is how wild and dynamic nature can be out there. While it may be bright and sunny one moment, things can suddenly change the next moment. This essentially leads to two important conclusions. First, if you see a photo opportunity, be sure to make the most out of it immediately and not wait for it for too long. Next, if you’re planning to spend the night outdoors, you really need to think everything through. This means getting ready and carrying the right supplies for you and your camera.
Towards the end of the video, you’ll get to witness valuable learning. While Heaton’s struggling to compose the early morning sunrise, it is only when he looks in the opposite direction that he realizes a gorgeous scene waiting to be photographed. So, when you’re out in nature, be sure to keep all of your senses alert. You never know what you’ll come across.
Whether or not the idea of camping in the mountains might’ve crossed your mind, we highly recommend that you watch this complete video. After all, it is not good just for your photography, but for your body and soul as well.
