    What does it take to be a professional landscape photographer? Surely you just need a really expensive camera? Perhaps you've got to be a Photoshop wizard or maybe you just need to know all of the science behind F-stops and optics?
    The truth is much simpler. You just need to show up.
    Some of the most widely enjoyed images in history were created by inexpert hands and were more the result of opportunity than technical prowess.
    Of course, it helps to know what you're doing but even after decades of perfecting the art, there's still no substitute for being in the right place at the right time. This is perhaps the most significant trait of the professional landscape photographer.
    In this video I finish showcasing some of my best images of the last 2 years with insightful stories into the experience of capturing the shot as well as technical insights into how I put it all together.
    Every adventure comes with its challenges but you'll never win if you don't show up.

    The white trees are not likely bleached... what is likely happening is called Silicification. It is where the tree's organic skeletal material (pulp/cellulose) is slowly absorbing calcium and silica through a process called dissolution. Over decades, the wood becomes a mineral. These minerals are white/clear colored making the trees looking white as the wood "pulp" is slowly replaced by minerals. It is similar to Petrification of a tree except the key minerals are calcium and silica.

    I mentioned after seeing your first video of your favorite images of 2022 that I had seen many favorites from well known photographers and that none of them came close in comparison to your dramatic images. After seeing your second video of your favorites, you have set the benchmark that all other photographers can compare their images to. Again, well done Gavin! You have worked your backside off to be the best!

    Number 1: The ability to travel to and take images in interesting environments. Seriously, most people who've made it big in photography were financially privileged to be able to do so and thus could afford to travel to places like Iceland, Africa or other unique places that allow them to take amazing images.

    • @fototripper
      @fototripper  Год назад +4

      Most of these images were shot just a few hours from home. Some of the best images I shot in my life were during a time of financial struggle. I haven't been on a plane or left my country in 3 years. Tell me more.

I think my favorite of all is the one with the dead trees in the water, Beavercide, I think you called it. That one is otherworldly because it is so unusual. But all of them are unusually gawgeous.
