Photo of the Week - Photographing a Mountain Scene



Schwabachers Landing, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

I tend to be a bit of a purist when it comes to landscape photography. However, I sometimes break out of my self-inflicted mold and include a person in the composition to give perspective. In this case, it was another photographer on the tour. When a person is included, it helps viewers to place themselves within the scene, transported to that very spot!

  5. He's one lucky tourist to be there in my favorite Grand Teton mountains!
    Beautiful shot Donna.

    Hope you are doing well dear - we're off across the pond next week so hope to have some nice pix to share later - Paris, Provence, and Languedoc in France. . . . . plus Barcelona, Spain.

    Take care - hope your sweet Angel is well too and taking you for walks!
    Hugs - Mary

  6. And, in this case, provides that very important touch of red as if you had painted the scene. Lovely.

  13. I like when a person is in the scene, simply because it automatically illustrates the grandeur of the scene.

  14. Another spectacular mountain shot! Hope you're taking care of yourself. We're finding it a long slow road - headed for memorial services in Alberta and BC where Will worked, in a week or two.

  15. Donna, it's a great photo! Hope you're feeling better and healing. I love the west but haven't been there in decades.

  16. Hello Donna, I'm visiting late since I've been away. Your mountain photos are always gorgeous. Like you, I prefer no people, but the inclusion of a fellow photographer in this one does give perspective to the scene. I hope you are doing well and that Angel is keeping you good company as the days shorten.

  17. Yes--I like seeing a person in the scene--especially this, when the person is far away. It does make the mountains look like they truly are--tall, large and magnificent.
