Unconventional Guide to Capturing Georgia's Beauty: Landscape Photography Tips and Tricks

submitted on 16 December 2023 by photographerlistings.org

1. Stop and Smell the Peaches

First things first, you've got to get yourself to Georgia. This southern belle is brimming with charm and bursting with beautiful landscapes just waiting to be captured by your trusty camera. Landlocked between Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee, Georgia is a land of contrasts with majestic mountains, ancient forests, and stunning coastlines. It's no wonder photographers flock to this peachy paradise like moths to a flame (or perhaps more aptly, like flies to a honey-soaked biscuit).

2. Rise with the Roosters for That Golden Hour Glow

The early bird catches the worm, and the early photographer catches the golden hour light. Those magical moments right after sunrise and before sunset are when the sun's rays turn the world into a kaleidoscope of warm, golden hues. Set your alarm, grab a thermos of sweet tea, and head out to your chosen location. Not a morning person? Not a problem! Luckily for you, Georgia has a second golden hour right before the sun dips below the horizon. The only downside is that you'll miss out on the dulcet tones of the roosters greeting the day.

3. Embrace Georgia's Quirky Charm

When it comes to capturing the essence of Georgia, don't be afraid to show off its quirky side. Snap a photo of the Vidalia onion fields, or perhaps the giant peanut monument in Plains. It's not every day that you see a colossal legume, after all. But the real pièce de résistance is the backside of Stone Mountain, affectionately known as "The Moon." This crater-filled wonder is a landscape photographer's dream, or at least a dream for those who've fantasized about capturing the lunar surface without shelling out for a trip to space.

4. Harness the Power of the Weather

Georgia's weather is as unpredictable as a riled-up rattlesnake, but that's just one more reason to love it. Whether it's a glorious sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains or a torrential downpour transforming Savannah's cobblestones into glistening jewels, Georgia's weather can add that extra je ne sais quoi to your landscape photos. So, don't despair if you find yourself in the middle of a Southern storm—embrace the drama, and let it elevate your photography to new heights.

5. Get Up Close and Personal with Georgia's Wildlife

While capturing the grand vistas of Georgia is all well and good, don't forget about the smaller details that make the state so special. Channel your inner nature photographer and get down and dirty with the local flora and fauna. Capture the delicate beauty of Georgia's state flower, the Cherokee Rose, or the striking plumage of the Brown Thrasher, the state bird. And for those brave enough to venture into the swamps, you might just be rewarded with a thrilling shot of an alligator basking in the sun or a majestic heron taking flight.

6. Make Friends with the Locals

Georgians are known for their hospitality, so don't be shy about asking for advice on the best spots for photography. They might just lead you to a hidden gem that only the locals know about. And who knows—you might even be invited in for a glass of sweet tea and a helping of fresh peach cobbler. It's a win-win situation, really.

7. Embrace the Unpredictability of the Journey

Finally, when it comes to landscape photography in Georgia, don't be afraid to let the journey guide you. Take a wrong turn down a dirt road and see where it leads. Maybe you'll stumble upon a crumbling antebellum mansion draped in Spanish moss, or an eerily beautiful abandoned theme park being reclaimed by nature. The possibilities are endless when you allow yourself to be led by the spirit of Georgia.In summary, capturing the beauty of Georgia in a photograph requires an open mind, a sense of adventure, and perhaps a willingness to get a little dirty. So, grab your camera, pack your bags, and let the Peach State work its magic on you and your lens. Happy shooting!
