As you could expect of most landscape photographers living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, my choices of scenery at the time were predominantly focused on waterfalls, forests and creeks. I’ve seen more verdant, mossy trees than I ever could have imagined growing up in New York City. And, like most people, I developed a habit of sorts and would frequent the same locations over and over...
“While on assignment in Denali National Park, I came across this juvenile grizzly who felt the need to remind me of the rules of the road,” says Jonathan Irish. “From that point forward, I was sure to have my headlights on and always remembered to stop for buses. I appreciated the reminder and was happy to oblige—this is their national park, after all.”

Last Autumn, my good buddy, Brian, and I took the afternoon to journey to a place called the Mossy Grotto in Oregon. It would be my first time visiting that area and Brian’s third. I had a good idea of what the destination looked like, all lush and verdant with lots of moss. I also knew that the hike to it was mostly uphill before a steep and rocky descent back down. The hike to the Mossy Grotto...

Very often, direct light from the sun presents numerous problems with which photographers must deal. This is especially true when a wildlife subject is backlit, sidelit or photographed when the sun is high in the sky. The angle, cool blue color, contrast, quality or lack thereof can’t be changed, but it can be augmented. To know how to get the most out of a given condition contributes to the success...

For as long as I can remember, my go-to focal length range has been in the ultra-wide realm. I always wanted to cram as much of a scene into my composition as possible, which typically meant that I was hovering between 12-16mm, depending on which lens I owned at the time. There was something powerful when it came to fitting a gigantic waterfall and the landscapes in front of and behind it all within...

As a reader of Outdoor Photographer, you’re probably aware of the basic rules for being a welcome guest in wild places and ethical wildlife photography practices, but a story reported by KGW8 in Oregon prompted us to share this friendly reminder.
Please don’t feed the bears! Or other wildlife.
Most people that do so are coming from a place of kindness and think they’re helping, but as this story...
I want everyone who reads this week’s tip to literally take your photography to a lower level! Am I going nuts? No—I want you to keep your tripod legs compressed and drop to your knees. Better yet, lay flat on your stomach. Yes, it’s time to “get down” and experiment with low-angle photography. Bring yourself and your camera low to the ground so you’re on the same level of smaller subjects....

Regardless of the destination to where you travel, each has its own distinct characteristics. Whether your journey takes you to an iconic location to make scenics, a wildlife mecca like the Serengeti in Tanzania or a place richly immersed in culture to make portraits of the locals, translating the location’s attributes should be high on your list. Go in with a mindset to do this and you’ll come back...
