It’s always nice to capture some good images when we are out doing landscape photography but it is important to enjoy the journey too. I recently did some hiking and photography on quite a tough day, I felt I captured a few nice woodland images and I had a wonderful day even though conditions were sometimes challenging. I took 3 images, you can see one below and all 3 are in my video documenting the day which you can watch here. I found a couple of areas of the woodland which appealed to me so I wanted to capture some of the atmosphere I felt when there in my images. It’s not always easy to do that but hopefully I’ve been somewhat successful. As the day progressed the weather worsened but I was still enjoying my hike so I decided to carry on to my destination even though I knew I most likely wouldn’t be able to capture any more worthwhile images on that day. Reaching the top of the hill felt rewarding and I was glad I made the effort. Anyway, I hope you like the image below and if you want to see the rest that I captured you can watch the video on my YouTube channel. For those who are interested I captured all 3 images on my Fuji X-T3 using the XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens.
