I shot most of this project with a longer lens, but to create a more immersive feeling in this image, I used a 24mm equivalent. I was initially focused on the beautiful sky, but by using a wider lens and a 13-second exposure, I was able to frame the image to softly reflect the brilliant sunset colors in the water. I knew I was onto something when local residents began finding me on Instagram, asking if I was that crazy guy they had seen photographing in the deep, surging waves at one of the beaches in my neighborhood. Friends asked what was going on when they realized that my phone was off from 4:00 to 5:30 every afternoon. The carpets in my car were filled with sand and grit. And at the root of it all was a creative endeavor that had me excited to pick up my camera again. Compared to some of the other places I’ve traveled throughout my life, heading “down to the beach” felt anticlimactic. And yet, it was anything but. Grounded both physically and creatively due to COVID restrictio...

Canon USA produces a series of “EOL Challenges” for its YouTube channel that follow Canon Explorers of Light into the field to shoot images on a theme. This episode stars two EOL photographers we’ve recently featured in Outdoor Photographer, and we thought it would be fun to share this video so you could virtually meet them. Babnik’s “Interpreting The Landscape” is one of our favorite landscape photography stories of 2021, in which she describes how her background in art history has been formative to her style. Wildlife photographers with an interest in bears will love Glatzer’s guide to the “Bears Of Katmai National Park” as he provides location, technical and creative advice for photographic success in Alaska. Back to the video below, Babnik is in the Dolomites of Italy shooting for an epic image of the mountain peaks illuminated by sunset light, while Glatzer is traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the U.S. in search of a stunning sunrise. Both photographers talk about ...
