How to take beautiful photos of mountain scenery in winter? Seven tips tell you how to shoot.

Taking pictures of natural mountain scenery in winter has many advantages, such as fresh air, a thin layer of fog in the morning and leaves changing colors with the seasons. When this area is covered with snow in winter, it looks beautiful and clean. Here are seven kinds of shooting techniques for shooting mountain natural scenery in winter, which will make your winter scenery more brilliant.

1. prime time/blue time shooting

Landscape photography focuses on recording the real scenery at present. If you want to take beautiful scenery photos, the color that can best convey your mood is in prime time, that is, when the sun rises and the sun is about to set, because the photos will stand out in the golden light of the sun.

Blue moment is the time when the sun sets on the horizon. The image will have a blue background, and red or pink clouds may float on the horizon. At this time, the picture will convey different emotions and feelings, so to shoot interesting pictures, we must understand the colors of different periods and get the atmosphere of interesting pictures.

In winter, you have to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Sunlight will affect the photo effect, so don't miss the amazing moment.

Fog or rain clouds are also a good factor.

Sometimes unexpected things may happen when you go out to shoot natural scenery. For example, if you don't shoot, it may rain heavily, and the fog is too thick to see the ideal scenery. But in fact, you can still shoot an interesting story with the help of the surrounding environmental factors, such as shooting the reflection in the water, shooting the rainbow, shooting the rain falling on the leaves, and keeping the ground moist to stimulate a thick foggy sea.

On rainy and cloudy days, you may get a photo that conveys another emotion, such as loneliness, sadness or anger. Perhaps this is one of the best photos of this trip.

3. Use natural framing to focus the picture.

The easiest way is to find leaves or branches in the frame. In order to serve as the foreground, the subject is the middle scene with the mountains in the background, or if there are rocks in the position, you can use or pass through those rocks to make a composition.

Use a circular polarizer

In winter, the filter is used to assist in shooting autumn leaves, because the circular polarizer will adjust the light intensity, make the sky more blue in saturation, and the leaves have clearer red and orange, which can slow down the shutter speed, so as to take photos of waterfalls or rivers like long exposure and avoid glare in the photos.

However, if it is a dark day or a dark day, since the filter is used, it is suggested to improve the ISO, which will reduce the light by about 1.5. Don't forget to take pictures with a tripod.

Looking for details

In winter, some trees shed their leaves until only a few branches remain. Therefore, looking for interesting details, such as the last leaf may have one left, or in sharp contrast with plants with full leaves, will help to create content, meaning or emotion for images.

6. Try shooting with different types of lenses.

You may not be able to take too many lenses when you go out to shoot mountain natural scenery, because it will increase the weight of your backpack. However, you have to take two kinds of lenses every time you go out, fixed lens and zoom lens (but some wide-angle lenses are very interesting), because the artistic conception of the picture will be different when you shoot with lenses with different attributes.

7. Take photos with ... Original file for post-processing.

Take pictures with ... RAW files will help you edit and optimize various settings during post-processing. Some pictures may not show detailed information from the camera display screen, but if you look at some picture details on the computer, there may be different gaps. Therefore, for shooting. The original file is more suitable for post-processing.
