The below photo was taken close to where I live last winter. Last but not least, embrace minimalism and simplicity. Here the gray dramatic clouds compliment the dramatic rocks. I originally wanted to get the shot with a sunrise behind it, however, several years later I am very happy the weather turned out as it did.Īnother example is the above one from Iceland. The above photo from Blackchurch Rock in southwestern England works for several reasons, but in this context, the color contrast between the red rocks and gray-blue sky makes it both moody and beautiful. Some of my personal favorite photos are with gray clouds taken on days, which would be considered less optimal for landscape photography. Winter can have clear days, but if the weather is all gray and moody, I would suggest embracing it. As spruce and pine forests keep their needles during winter these forests are great to visit with and without snow or frost. Although not my best, the below photo, is a great example of woodland photography during winter.

Personally, I prefer green and lush forests full of fog and during winter when the trees are without leaves they are of less interest to me. Frost and snow would not make a difference for the scene to work. Due to the erosion of some clay cliffs, the trees above fall down onto the beach and out into the sea. The foreground grass is green in the summer half of the year, but the photo still works great due to the composition and light.Īnother seascape scene that worked great for me was one I visited in December. In the below photo, I went to a lighthouse along the Danish coast. No matter if you have beaches or cliffs these scenes usually work independently of what season you photograph them. If you do not have access to snow and frost for your landscapes then avoid scenes where you depend on it.

However, if you are free to move around your own country responsibly and snow is present somewhere it is just about getting out. Due to the current pandemic and lockdowns around the globe, I will not linger too much at this tip.

The most obvious way to solve the problem of the lack of snow is to go or travel to where it is. The question is what to do about it and is it possible to get beautiful photos without the typical winter conditions? Travel

Without snow or frost, most winter landscapes and woodland scenes are rather unimpressive and uninspiring. In 2019, I had one day of snow in Denmark, and in 2020 none whatsoever.
