Outdoor Photography - Scott Rinckenberger

One of my favourite outdoor photographers is Scott Rinckenberger. Find his work at link.

Some of Scott's work is just mind blowing. Being an outdoor guy and mountaineer himself he reaches locations in nature yielding opportunities for landscape imagery never seen before.

What is interesting about Scott too is the fact that he is using all kinds of cameras. From compact to high end DSLRs. Proofing that sometimes the result depends more on the photographer or the image processor than on the equipment.

Following Scott's recommendation I started using a Sony RX100 III for some of my work where I am not able to carry my DSLR or medium format film camera. And truly, results are perfect.

Scott has a series of mountain landscape images under special light conditions all in black and white.  Some can be seen on the portfolio screenshot shown above. These are images never seen before. With unmet contrast and lighting effects that are hard to get. Some of the here shown situations probably only occur for a couple of seconds per day, taking under consideration weather conditions probably even with less probability that it happens when the photographer is there. Hence, Scott must have been spending hours hiking, snowshoeing, skiing through the snowy mountains in order to capture these artistic shots.

I might consider getting one of his fine art prints for my office. Something unique and artistic. - How about you?
