Week 305: Mood and Atmosphere

Our theme this week is Mood and Atmosphere, and we’d love to see what fantastic photos you can create using mood and atmosphere found in nature. Mood and atmosphere can be captured in nature photography in many different ways. Compose your images carefully as you look to capture drama and a real sense of place in your photographs. Perhaps you will use black and white to dramatise a scene, or go out on a misty morning to capture a haunting or mysterious landscape vista. See how photographing at different times of day affects the kinds of images you are able to capture, like the way light interacts with your subject, or how the weather might impact the tonal qualities and colours of your shots. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for photographs with mood and atmosphere are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Movement – and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Zoltán Dobány: ‘I took the photo at dusk, with a flash, hand-held, with a 70-300 mm lens.’

This image is a wonderful showcase of how movement can be captured on camera; and indeed, how we can use photography to share a moment that we cannot see with the naked eye. This engaging subject matter has been very well depicted with a flattering colour scheme. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
