The Uplands of Great Britain provide us all with a fantastic opportunity for exploration and adventure. With the theme of ‘Adventures in the Uplands’ you have the opportunity to highlight exciting but responsible use of the wild places you explore - be they mountains, moorlands, upland woodlands or bogs.
Here are a few tips to help you on your way to creating images of your adventures:
1. Find the lines
Many striking images rely on ‘lead-in lines’. This could be any kind of line that the observers eye can follow through the image, providing impact and focus to the picture. Footpaths are a great example to be found in the uplands.
2. It’s all in the detail
A great photo of the uplands doesn’t have to be a landscape. Observe people’s activities and focus on the details of what they’re doing. Maybe it’s the water splashes while playing in puddles or a climber’s grip as they hang on for dear life!
3. Find the interesting perspective
Don’t be afraid to look at a scene from many angles and perspectives to make your picture stand out from the crowd. Also think about using the light to create interesting effects like silhouettes.
4. Go wide
One of our favourite things about the uplands is the wide open views they provide. Consider creating panoramic pictures to take in the entire landscape.
5. Shoot mono
Black and white images can help bring out the texture in a scene in a way colour images can’t. Try thinking in monochrome to create really eye-catching photos.
