Rainy Landscapes Through the Windscreen

Rain. The nemesis of landscape photographers everywhere. But it doesn’t have to be. What if I told you there’s a way we can still venture out on rainy days and capture some different landscape images to what we’re used to seeing?

For this type of abstract landscape photography on rainy days, we ideally need a landscape that offers us some colours within the scene. Autumn / Fall is ideal, as the trees, grasses and heathers are all changing for the season. That’s not to say you can’t achieve this type of shot in Spring or Summer. You may have to find a field of flowers or similar to get those abstract colours, and rainy days may be fewer and farther between. Unless you live in England of course…

Travel with Neil does a US Road Trip - Pt 4. Lynchburg

Driving directly, Nashville to Atlanta is approximately four and a half hours. But who wants to drive four and a half hours with no stop offs en route? Luckily a little place called Lynchburg is along the route and anyone who’s been in a pub or walked along a liquor aisle in the supermarket will have seen the name Lynchburg many a time. It’s the home of Jack Daniel’s distillery, and the contents of every bottle, in every part of the world is still made in this little Tennessee town.

Travel with Neil does a US Road Trip - Pt.2 Louisville

What’s in Louisville (pronounced Loo-uh-vil) you may ask? Riverside parks, humongous bridges, a cosmopolitan cityscape and museums to sate any taste.

I was particularly looking forward to visiting two museums. As a baseball fan, I had to visit the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. The very place they make the iconic bats used by professional and amateurs alike.

Travel with Neil does a US Road Trip - Pt.1 Ohio

Once in a while, you have to do something to disrupt the humdrum. Remind yourself that life is for living.

That may be something as simple as finding an isolated waterfall and pool and go for a skinny dip, it might be daring to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, preferably with a parachute strapped to your back.

For me, I love driving. Driving to new places on different continents. It gets those creative juices flowing again that may have gone a little stale. The chance to see different scenery and meet new people is a very enticing prospect as a lone traveller. And obviously I’m incredibly fortunate and grateful to be able to record those scenes and encounters with my camera.
