Captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a Canon EF 100-400mm Lens,1/3200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 12800.”

In landscape photography, we often look for spectacular and majestic subjects. Imposing mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, or lush forests are powerful and visually appealing. Even more so when shot under dramatic light. However, if you wish to obtain significant images, looking for atmospheres that resonate with our state of mind is often more helpful than focusing on famous, outstanding places.
