The N-Photo team’s mountain shots tips

Adam Waring Editor

The weather can change in an instant up in the treacherous hills, so don’t forget to pack the waterproofs for both yourself and your kit. adam.waring@futurenet.com

Jason Parnell-Brookes Technique editor

Tripods are great for stabilizing your Nikon in windy conditions. Choose a carbon fibre version to lighten the load as you traverse the mountains! jason.parnell-brookes@futurenet.com

Ben Andrews Lab Manager

Use a soft-transition ND grad to balance a bright sky behind a mountain. Combine it with a polarizing filter if you’re also in a hazy environment. ben.andrews@futurenet.com

Rod Lawton Head of Testing

Look for a viewpoint far away and use a longer focal length lens. It flattens the perspective and can make mountains look more imposing. rod.lawton@futurenet.com
