Window of Confession by Timothy Poulton

One of the most significant challenges as a landscape photographer in the digital age is finding new compositions at popular locations. Ten years ago, places like Patagonia, Iceland, and national parks in the US were free of the hordes of photographers making their way to Instagram bucket list shots like lines at the grocery store. As a photographer, we have to embrace the challenge of finding new compositions, even if the location has been plastered all over the internet. It’s everything in landscape photography! Alabama Hills in the Sierra Nevada is one of those locations that get a fair amount of traffic; just look at all the tracks and campervans parked everywhere. The most popular area is Mobius Arch, and no matter what time of day or year, you’ll find photographers climbing all over it, getting in each other’s ways to add another feather to their bow. Some places are more difficiult than others, but we have to try and be creative, it’s a big planet. My version of Alabama Hills I found this sweet window in the metamorphosed volcanic rock with a view of the incredible peaks around Mt Whitney. Not the most comfortable composition, I had to build a rock stack to get my tripod in the right position and focus stack with the Nikon Z7 to create this scene.

☆ Follow me also on Instagram ☆ This photo was taken on a beautiful morning next to Tre Cime in the Dolomites. The rising sun was shining on the peaks of the Cadini di Misurina. One of the most beautiful mountain landscape I have seen so far.

The Waterfall Of The Gods by Rui Baptista

Godafoss is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall. Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.
This photo, taken at sunrise, is from my second day photographing Godafoss. The weather on the first day there was pretty bad, thick cloud cover, rainy and windy (as can be seen from my previous posts of Godafoss) and we decided to return on the day after, which proved to be a wise decision, as the place is spectacular and well justified the change in our plans (something that you should be prepared for in Iceland, due to its moody weather conditions!).
