Feature Friday

We want to see your “Grandscapes.” Share your larger-than-life landscape photographs with the community, and tell us about the place and how you made the image.


Every photo you share tells a unique story about our world. Take this chance to show us the amazing places you’ve visited, like stunning mountains, peaceful lakes, lush forests, and expansive deserts.
Whether your photographic journey has led you through the familiar terrain of your hometown or taken you on epic adventures across the globe, show the community photos that feel “epic,” and let’s explore these places together, one image at a time.


You can share your grandscape by replying to this thread with your work, and don’t forget to tell us all about it. We want to know where you were and how you captured your larger-than-life piece.

I got to do one of my bucketlist photography goals and that was to do a portrait shoot with a model in japan. During my visit there this summer I managed to get a few in surprisingly that I met through instagram DM and FB. Manami was one of my favourite ones as the location provided the japanese aesthetic I wanted to shoot but we were also able to shoot in some different areas with the time we had. One aspect of outdoor portraits which I love and sometimes hate is of course the sunlight, we shot outside in the harsh sun, I was hoping to find some shade to help with evening out the contrast but my favourite shots were actually ones with some spotlighting. The photos kind of highlights the change, I think for photography I'm familiar enough to edit photos to give them the same feeling but when it comes to video the change in light is pretty jarring. Anyways here are the highlights from that shoot.

Hi @bmcdonough,
I rarely look back more than a day or two, so it was an interesting exercise to go back to August.  Here are a few.
