Helpful Tips for Landscape Photography in Winter

Landscape photography during the winter can be a fantastic chance to give your photos a completely different look and turn familiar scenes into something completely different. This great video tutorial will show you a range of useful tips on composition, settings, and more to make the best possible photos. 

Coming to you from Photo Tom, this excellent video tutorial will show you a bunch of helpful tips for taking better winter landscape images. I have always enjoyed winter landscape photography; the experience is always so quiet and peaceful. But the thing I particularly enjoy is that snow gives you the opportunity for more abstract shots as well, particularly since it smooths out a lot of the landscape and brings textures and contrast into sharper relief. Drones can also be a great way to get more abstract shots (you can check out this article for some tips on flying one in the winter). Be sure to take a longer lens that can allow you to isolate details in addition to your normal wide angle. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
