Photographing Landscapes: Mountains

Photographing Landscapes - Episode 1: Mountains
In this series of landscape photography tutorials, I will be talking about how to photograph specific landscape photography scenes. In this first episode, I give some tips on how to photograph my favourite subject for landscape photography, mountain landscapes.
Rather than just provide another 'top ten' list of tips and tricks on how to photograph landscapes however, I talk about my own connection with mountainous landscapes and why mountain landscapes appeal much to me for landscape photography, as well as providing some tips and advice on mountain landscape photography that you may find useful. this will include tips on lighting and composition, as well as the equipment I like to use, and how to plan mountain photography trips.
Music used in this video includes tracks from www.Bensound.com as well as some of my own music.

One of the most underrated photography channels in my opinion. Very informative and calming videos.

[@BosePhotography]

That's such a kind comment, and very much appreciated! Thank you very much Max, I'm glad you liked it! Sam.

Thank you very much Anushay, I really appreciate that! S

[@juliangreaves4727]

Sam, what a great ruse to put all your favourite photos back on KZbin! Excellent and very enjoyable. Sure made me yearn for the mountains. 👍

[@BosePhotography]

Hahaha, you saw right through me Julian! :) It was good going back through some of the older clips, but I must admit it was also a bit painful thinking of what we're missing right now. Really can't wait to get back out there again! Sam.

[@LeePelling]

Sam, that was a great well put together look into your photography , there was some great information and so many fantastic images within that i was completely captivated watching it. Really well done mate , looking forward to the seascape and woodland ones now !

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks so much Lee, really appreciate it! Hmm, now I need to go and find some woodland and seascape images in my back catalogue though, those videos might be a bit shorter! S.

[@brianbeattyphotography]

Awesome video work! And completely agree, shooting in the mountains is always a great choice.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Brian! S.

[@ChristopherCina]

Thanks for the extremely informative video, great info on light, focal lengths and composition with the mountains. So many great images, thanks for sharing the valuable content! Cheers.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Christopher, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it useful! Sam

[@mikeswoods]

Nice video and good to listen to your approach. It will be so nice, when we can all get back out to these types of places, once the world gets back to normal 🤞📷👍

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you Mike, yes I really can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that! I put this video together as I'm not able to head out at the moment and in many ways it just made it even worse reminding myself what we're missing right now. Fingers crossed we'll be able to head back to these places again soon! Sam.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, I enjoy your and Hannahs, photography and love your connection to the landscape thanks for sharing

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Tony. I'm glad you enjoyed this, we're not able to get out to do much photography at the moment so it was nice putting this together and reminding ourselves of what we can hopefully get up to once the pandemic is over! Sam.

[@kevinharding1181]

Really enjoyed that. Good advice aligned with superb images. Definitely worth subscribing.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Kevin, I really appreciate that! Thanks for subscribing! Sam.

Great video sam and stunning images, thank you

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much David! S.

[@DGriffGallery]

"Mountains are my favourite subject ..." me too! Loved this Sam 😊👍

[@BosePhotography]

Ah, I'm missing them so much right now! The Oxfordshire versions just don't quite cut it! ;) Than you David, I really can't wait to get back out there again! Sam.

[@markpursglovephotography]

Great video and superb images, look forward to the next one. 😊📷

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Mark! S.

[@shazzam532]

Really enjoyed this video Sam, thank you for sharing your tips on how to photograph mountains. I will be in western Scotland very soon and this has really helped..

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you Sharon, I'm glad you found it useful! I hope you have an amazing time on the west coast, it's definitely my favourite place. We'll be up there again ourselves in a few weeks! S.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Sam. Loved this video mate - you know... this might just be one of your best yet. Nice and deliberate and slow, well executed and cool music too. It is clear in a vid like this just how far and wide you and Hannah have extensively travelled and the sights you have seen... jawdropping. Love the clarity you get in your post processing work too. I think i said that to you in Mossburn in the cafe. Keep it up mate. Thanks for the recommendation too. Its all appreciated, despite taking a break! Regards, Ewan

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Ewan! Yes, this is really more of the kind of stuff we would like to be doing with this channel tbh. I had thought it would be just be a good idea of creating a bit of content using our back catalogue whilst I can't get out with the camera, but it ended up taking me two weekends to put together! I'm pleased with how it turned out though, and yes, definitely goes to show how far these little cameras have taken H and I since we started! Thanks so much for the feedback, it's really appreciated. I hope the house is coming along well and we're looking forward to your return to YT! S.

[@davidknowles5519]

Lovely video Sam and great tips as always

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much David! Sam.

[@KeqiangZhu]

content is king， great story and useful！

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much!

[@JamieOverland]

What a brilliant video Sam. You know I'm not a mountain photographer but I found that really interesting and an invaluable guide for anyone wanting to explore mountain photography. Well done mate! I'm looking forward to the woodland one now!

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Jamie! I must admit though, whilst I was putting this together I realised I may have peaked a bit too soon, I've got a feeling the woodland and seascape one's might be a bit shorter! :) S.

[@jeffstephens5266]

What a wonderful informative video at a pace where I could sit back, relax and take it all in.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Jeff, really glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! Sam.

[@ivanstevens]

Nice video, very enjoyable to watch 👍🏻

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you Ivan! Sam.

[@angiesutherland8740]

Hi Sam, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, it was really well put together! As you know I've seen all of your past adventures but seeing your gorgeous images again all in one place was just great. Learning about your thought processes that go into each one of your images was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Your calming voice and that gorgeous music was so lovely today, it really made the video something special. I can't wait to watch the next few upcoming videos! Excellent work Sam! Have a wonderful week. 😊 Oh and by the way thanks heaps for making me miss travelling!!! I can only dream of visiting those locations at the moment! 😉

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you Angie, it seemed like a good idea of putting something together whilst we can't get out easily to take photos/make videos at the moment! It did remind me what we're missing out on at the moment as well though, lets hope we can start to travel again later in the year! Sam

[@FabrizioZago]

Great series of photographs, congratulations. Great light and interesting clouds are the perfect recipe.

[@BosePhotography]

Absolutely, nothing better! Thank you very much Fabrizio! Sam

[@DaveMorrow]

NIce Sam! Great footage.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Dave! S.

[@PeterLariviere1]

Another exceptional video..beautiful images, perfect music to accompany the narration and video and a superb script. I will definitely be watching this again.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Peter, I really appreciate that! I'm looking forward to putting more of these videos together (I'm running a bit behind schedule due to a busy few weeks at work, so it won't be this week I'm afraid!). Sam.

[@PeterLariviere1]

@@BosePhotography They get done when they get done! I am always amazed at how people with full time jobs still find time to film and edit high quality videos.

[@BosePhotography]

@@PeterLariviere1 Thanks Peter, it can definitely be a struggle at times but I do love doing it! :)

[@sorinmarcian967]

Thank You, Sam, for a comprehensive and useful video. Also liked the photos used to illustrate the points brought-up. I discovered your channel not long ago ( at Christmas time ) and I truly like it - straight forward approach and the " affordable " equipment means, makes me connect even better. Keep up the work you do, and I look forward for your next video. I also subscribed, of course. Best Regards, from Toronto, Canada.

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Sorin, thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it! I'm glad you found this useful. In terms of equipment I'm a firm believer that the most important thing is to just get out there and enjoy the outdoors, so whatever equipment you have is normally perfectly fine! Especially with landscape photography, where you don't really need all of the 'bells and whistles' of the expensive bits of kit. I'm hoping to put a few more videos like this together over the next few weeks whilst we can't get out easily, so I hope that you find them useful as well! Sam.

[@andrewsimpson5436]

A stunning selection in there Sam and some wise words.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Andrew! I can't wait to get back out there again once all this is over! Sam.

[@kevinarmstrong3415]

Excellent is an often misused word but in this video truly is.

[@BosePhotography]

Wow. Thank you so much Kevin, I really appreciate that comment! Sam.

[@SkiwithMike]

Excellent Many thanks

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you Mike! S.

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

That's one area of photography I'm missing right now, great look back at your trips on location. Now I need to get back to researching my trip to Scotland this September 🙂

[@BosePhotography]

Ah, me too Russ! Putting this video together just served to remind me what we're missing out on. Hopefully come September we'll be able to head back up there again! Sam.

[@dancingmidgephotography]

Fantastic, subscribed ...

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Very inspiring Sam. It made me miss the wilds that I love so much! Really lovely images to illustrate your point too!

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Simon, thank you very much! I must admit, when I was putting this together, it really did make me long to be able to get back out there again! I do hope that you are keeping well, Sam.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

@@BosePhotography Yes, all good here thanks. Aside from the photography itch that desperately needs scratching!

[@BosePhotography]

@@SimonBoothPhotography ah, I always have that particular itch but it’s especially bad right now!

[@Westmoreland348]

A very enjoyable and informative look at Mountain photography, Sam. Beautiful footage as usual and it was nice to see some of your fine images from the past as well. I particularly like the images from Northern Scotland, which I have never visited yet and also the wild camp in Langdale which was closer to home for me! Look forward to your other videos in the future as well, they deserve to do well.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much, I really hope you can make it up to Northern Scotland one day, it is certainly well worth the trip. Although, you're spoilt in the Lake District as well in my opinion! I'm really looking forward to heading up there again once we're able to! Sam.

[@Westmoreland348]

@@BosePhotographyThank you Sam, I can't complain about the lake District, it is incredibly varied for such a compact area and we're lucky to live on the Silverdale Song on the periphery with easy access to Yorkshire, Bowland and Morecambe bay, although I do like a cornfield or a pretty Oxfordshire village! By the way you mentioned about an eventual upgrade to the 5d and I'd highly recommend the 5ds or sr, it's not a new camera for sure and seems oddly neglected by KZbinrs. The resolution is amazing and as you have the lenses already would be a great upgrade. Best wishes Simon

[@BosePhotography]

​@@Westmoreland348 Thank you Simon, yes the 5DSR does seem to be a bit under used, at least on KZbin. Perhaps people are just put off by its age. I know Thomas Heaton took one to the Alps a few years back, and Alex Nail uses one (although he has just upgraded to an R5). I'd highly recommend checking out Alex's channel by the way, if you aren't familiar with his work, he does a lot of photography in North West Scotland and his photography style is just my kind of thing (not too over processed!). Sam.

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Sam: I have really enjoyed this video. Upon reviewing this video I immediately think of the styles of Ewan Dunsmuir and Sean Tucker. I love their delivery style so you are in great company. My wife and I are coming to the Isle of Skye and the Lake District in the fall 2021, so I can't wait to create our own memories. We will be spending some time with Chris Sale and the Skye Photography Academy. I found your channel through Chris's channel. Who knows, maybe we will bump into each other. Just look for some middle-aged Canadians with too much camera equipment with us. Keep up the great content creation. Cheers, Keith (Canada)

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Keith, thank you for watching! Wow, Ewan and Sean are both two of my favourite channels on YT so it is an honour to be compared to them! I'm really glad to hear you are planning to come over to the UK later this year, and even gladder to hear that you will be spending some time with Chris and the Skye Photo Academy as well, Mark and Nick at SPA are both fantastic photographers. I certainly hope that Hannah and I will make it back up to Scotland again in the autumn if work will allow us, so we will keep an eye out! It is one of the best times to be up there (and we usually try and stop off to see Chris on the way up as well if he's free!). Sam.

[@summitpaul]

Really nice video Sam. I live in the Alps so my channel features almost exclusively mountains. 😂 Seems you’re missing a trip to the Swiss mountains in your extensive list of cool places visited. The Matterhorn will be a big tick when it comes to featuring triangles in compositions. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on mountains. Really enjoyed it.

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Paul, wow, what a place to be living! And your videos look excellent as well, I will look forward to catching up on those. We're definitely missing a trip to Switzerland, it's been high on the list for quite a few years and we've never managed to get around to it (despite coming close a few years back, we were just on the wrong side of the border!). You're completely right, I definitely need a Matterhorn pic in the portfolio for the next time I blather on about triangles ;) S.

[@summitpaul]

@@BosePhotography Great. If you’re ever Zermatt way, I’d be happy to help with any planning / location advice etc.

[@BosePhotography]

@@summitpaul Thanks Paul, I'll definitely take you up on that offer! S.

[@FragranceView]

I am planning a trip to India in May, and wanting to take some photography of a large hill called Arunachala, this was very helpful! I was thinking I need to buy a new lens, I have a Canon 70d body, I am bit stupid with lenses though.. What lens were you using for these shots from the Canon? 24-105mm? Which Polarising filter are you using to fit that lens?

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful! The 24-105 is my main lens for these images, although I also like to use a 70-200mm for telephoto images. The 24-105 is a perfect all-rounder though so I would definitely recommend it. Also, because the 70D has an APS-C sensor the crop factor will mean it behaves more like a 160mm which would be great for mountain images. The filters I use now are made by Kase, and I love their circular polariser, but I have also used Cokin filters in the past which are a good budget option. S

[@williambell3036]

Enjoying videos Sam, some great photos,do you do much post processing?

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much William! My approach to post processing is to try and keep things looking as natural as possible, and I use a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop. I think a video on how I process images is very much overdue, and given that we can't get out easily here in the UK at the moment I'll try and put one together over the next couple of weeks! Sam.

[@williambell3036]

@@BosePhotography Thanks Sam although I have Luminar 3 which I got free and trying Affinity for IPad will look forward to see what filters you use.Like yourself I want to keep my photos as natural as possible.Fortunately I live in Glasgow, as you probably know I am handy for the coast and highlands. Recently taken up photography during COVID and purchased LUMIX G9 with 24- 60 mm and 100-400mm Leica lenses as I am interested in landscape and wildlife photography.What made this video interesting to me was I visited New Zealand in 2016 with some nice photos of Milford Sound,I also walked The Tour De Mont Blanc 2019.recommended.I took some nice photos at time on iPhone and small Isus Canon camera.I now enjoy shooting Raw and in Manual. Regards William

[@BosePhotography]

@@williambell3036 thanks William, I'm sure that most of the processes I follow in photoshop/lightroom will probably be possible in luminar as well (although I've never tried it myself!). Really glad you're enjoying the landscape and wildlife photography, and you're certainly in a great spot for it. So easy to get to some amazing places from Glasgow (I was born in Glasgow btw ;)). Would love to do the Tour de Mont Blanc one day, when we stayed at Lac Blanc most of the other guests in the refuge were doing it and it sounded amazing! S.

[@lanieanddillonadventure9656]

What lenses you use to shot this mountains?

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Lanie and Dillon! The lens I probably used the most for the images in this video was the 24-105mm. It covers such a good range so I'll often just take that to save on weight if I'm hiking. My favourite lens for most mountain shots though is the 70-200mm f/4, although I bought that since making this video, so most of the telephoto images in this were taken with either the 100-400mm or the 70-300mm. Sam
