Ten dazzling images and the key ingredients used by the creators to capture them! @pete_ell: "The first image shows a special evening with the sun painting the dazzling Mont Blanc massive with orange and crimson hues. There was no wind, and these hikers kept passing by without knowing they were the perfect subject for this reflection image. To make the most out of the situation, I split the image 50/50 with the reflection and mountains as a perfect mirror image." @roman_volken: "I also enjoy searching for minimalistic scenes. Minimalistic scenes make the focal point stronger. But you need to be at a unique place at the right time. Probably this is the most crucial ingredient in achieving a great photograph." @maximiliangierl: "A good photo should evoke emotions. A great way to achieve that is using leading lines which very often guide the viewer through the image to understand what is going on. Then, when I plan my climbs, I consider which photography opportunities will be available. In the first place, I make sure to wake up very early. My goal is to reach the summits before sunrise, and if I can enjoy a sunset on top of a mountain, I will plan that. I seek the best lighting conditions." @kamer_gabocr: "And for that, you should start by checking the weather. It has to be the right one!" @marcogelpi.ph: "Light and post-processing are both of great importance, but composition is simply the cornerstone of photography. How you frame an image can take you from a regular photo to one of your favorite ones. Then I visualize what the final post-processed shot will look like while shooting on the field. By doing so, I can compose a more effective shot and include all the elements I will need for post-processing." @josteinrc: "Finally, for wildlife photography, I would say the key ingredient to creating a great photo is knowing the animal in question. Knowing the animals' habitat and their behavior makes it easier to plan the image and also plan how to photograph it without disturbing it. Also, having good light can make the subject stand out, like in the fox photo. The evening sun hit it like a studio lamp!” 🎇 Congrats @pete_ell! Winner Best of the Week 33!
