Seasonal Landscape Photography

The beauty of landscape photography is that an image captures a fleeting moment in time. The chance of returning to a location and experiencing the same scenery, color, and light is slim. For this reason, returning to the same location over and over again is exciting for landscape photographers. Every return trip is always different. Moreover, this is why the changing seasons breath new life into landscape photography locations. Spring fills the lands with baby animals, budding trees and flowers, as well as the bright pigments of green. Summer offers lush, deep greens against with vibrant colors in the sky. Fall brings those bright colors across the tree leaves. While winter carpets the lands in a quiet blanket of pristine white snow.  There is a season to match every photographer’s style.
