Join Ben Long for an in-depth discussion in this video Shooting a panorama at a lake, part of Travel Photography: Mountains and Snow Landscapes.
…One of the most frustrating things about being…a photographer is that there are a lot of…pretty things in the world, but just because…they're pretty doesn't mean that they make great photos.…And sometimes you just have to stick with them and see how things change.…The weather has cleared.…I can come outside and it's not raining.…It's been raining for three days, which is great.…It means all the snow is gone.…So I'm not in a particularly wintry landscape.…I wanted to come down here to the lake, this is Lake Tahoe, and, and…I find actually a, a fairly nice wintry…landscape though I'm standing here on bare ground.…
Got these beautiful snow-capped mountains, and…I've been wandering around here all day…shooting a bunch of stuff, and there's a lot of pretty light around, and.…And all day long those mountains have been over there just kind…of taunting me going look we're real pretty, we're real pretty, but.…But there hasn't been a shot there.…They're too far away.…I don't have a really long lens.…They're far enough away that they're kind of low contrast.…
