I am so lucky! Little do they know that it\u2019s actually the weather I hate most. Clear skies mean that the light gets harsh very quickly, and that anything you want to photograph gets very \u2018contrasty\u2019. While there are\u00a0certainly subjects and stories that will benefit from this kind of light, I\u2019m not a big fan.<\/p>\n<p>For landscape photography, a clear sky is as bad as it gets. A clear sky means no clouds, no drama and no spectacular sunrises and sunsets. It\u2019s one of the reasons why desert photography is so hard. If you\u2019re doing night photography a clear sky is all you need, but\u00a0for most nature photography a few puffy clouds or an apocalyptic sky with clouds of doom will take your image to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re planning your trip, checking the weather conditions is not only important for knowing what clothing to bring but it will also impact on what your images will look like. People commonly say that photography is all about the light, but I would say that it\u2019s all about the weather. For wildlife photographers, the weather doesn\u2019t only affect the quality of the light and what the sky looks like \u2013 it also influences animal behaviour.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1044px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"160955\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/001.jpg\" alt=\"swans in blizzard\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Blizzard, Japan. Nikon D810, 24-70mm f\/2.8 lens, 1\/400sec, f\/11, ISO 800<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Like us, animals change their behaviour according to the weather. When it\u2019s super hot, animals will be lethargic and will spend more time drinking and bathing at water holes. During a heavy downpour, they will seek shelter or get soaking wet \u2013 which will completely alter their look. When it\u2019s cold, some animals may huddle together, trying to keep each other warm. The more extreme the weather, the more wildlife will show behaviour you don\u2019t normally see, which makes for more interesting shots. Extreme weather will also add a lot of drama to your images\u2026. and you can never have too much drama.<\/p>\n<p>I photographed the above image of whooper swans during a blizzard in Hokkaido, Japan. It was a late afternoon and the temperature was dropping rapidly. It was snowing heavily, the wind was howling, and it was very uncomfortable to be outside. But the scene looked absolutely stunning. The swans were struggling to not get blown away and I really wanted to capture the harsh conditions that they live in.<\/p>\n<p>I always go to Japan in February because it\u2019s the best time of year to get these cold, winter conditions. Usually it\u2019s actually not that bad. The weather is usually kind of pleasant \u2013 it\u2019s cold, but it\u2019s dry cold and there\u2019s not too much wind. But at this particular time we had some very brutal conditions. I knew that if it turns bad there then it gets really bad, super-uncomfortable and cold, because cold winds just go through everything.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1044px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"160956\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/002.jpg\" alt=\"Marsel van Oosten lying down in a blizzard to shoot in Hokkaido, Japan bad weather\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Marsel van Oosten lying down in a blizzard to shoot in Hokkaido, Japan<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>It\u2019s easier to feel comfortable at -30\u00b0C when there\u2019s no wind than it is to feel comfortable at -5\u00b0C with howling winds, because you just freeze. Despite feeling uncomfortable you immediately recognise that these are unique conditions. I\u2019ve been going to this place every year since 2007 \u2013 that\u2019s a lot of visits and to get conditions like this is quite rare. I\u2019m used to getting blue skies, so when these types of conditions happen it\u2019s very exciting. Whooper swans are very common in many places on that latitude \u2013 you can find them in the US, Canada and Russia but never in a landscape that is as beautiful as it is in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>In this particular image you don\u2019t actually see the landscape much because of the blizzard but, in the typical conditions, it\u2019s the habitat that\u2019s really stunning. I\u2019m often more interested in the habitat than the actual species because I know that the habitat and the weather conditions are going to make a big difference in the image. I would rather photograph a not-so-spectacular animal in spectacular conditions than to photograph a spectacular animal in common conditions.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I learnt is that trying to photograph while lying flat on the snow during a blizzard isn\u2019t a very good plan. My body turned into a human windbreaker causing the wind to go in circles in front of my lens, covering the front element in snow. Not only that, but I also wasn\u2019t able to see a thing, let alone focus. Kneeling down proved to be the best option, which turned out to give the best angle to show all the swans and the pond they were in. This image isn\u2019t about a clever composition or awesome light \u2013 it\u2019s about raw energy and the brutal conditions these swans have to endure. That kind of drama comes with bad weather, not on bright sunny days.<\/p>\n<p><em>As told to Steve Fairclough<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Marsel van Oosten<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Marsel-van-Oosten.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"154598\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Marsel-van-Oosten-265x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"182\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Marsel van Oosten was born in The Netherlands and worked as an art director for 15 years.
