How to capture dynamic inland landscapes that burst with energy, with James Abbott

STREAMS AND WATERFALLS

Landscape photography has seen something of a renaissance in recent years, where it become one of the most popular subjects among photographers of all ages. Of course, it’s always been a popular subject, but social media has helped to make it more celebrated than ever.

One aspect of landscape photography that has remained the same is the desire for photographers to capture a sense of visual excitement and interest in their photos. Sure, landscape photography allows us to slow down, take in the scene and respond to it in the changing light, but the landscape can be so much more than what appears to be a static vista.

The most obvious and, indeed, effective way to inject a sense of dynamism into landscapes is to capture movement. And the simplest approach is to incorporate water into your shots. Waterfalls and streams are the key, and whether these are your prime focus or a smaller visual element within the wider scene, they can make inland landscapes as dynamic as their seascape counterparts.
