BESTWAY TO TAKE
THE MOUNTAIN HOME
“For landscapes in the
mountains, it’s always
hard to capture the scale.
It’s best to choose the
elements you really want
to record and try to fill the
frame with them—o en
it’s what you leave out that
gives a shot impact. If you
do take a wider view, then
think about foreground.
Find a snow-covered
conifer, say, move in close
to it and place the view
to one side—again, it will
have far more interest
than just a long shot of
distant ranges. Sometimes,
you won’t need mountains
at all—a person’s happy
face, a wooly hat, some ski
goggles and snow in the
hair can tell the story just
as well.”
