Infrared image on Dartmoor from last week, the only day we’ve had any cloud. #landscape #infrared #landscapephotographer #blackandwhite

Chamonix 045F1 large format camera. I mainly use it with 6x12 120 film backs. It makes pictures that look like paintings. Shot on Velvia 50 in Scotland. It’s a slower setup process of ‘crafting an image’ #filmphotography #believeinfilm #velvia #scotland #landscape #nature #landscapephotography

Any film photographers out there? I have been scanning images for an Amateur Photographer article and thought I share these - all shot on a Mamiya C330s using Kodak Ektar / Pro400H

Expect to see a lot of Iceland images this week from a photo tour of the the north I have just completed. A week of some of the most testing winter conditions produced some of my most engaging work. #photography #landscapephotography #nature #iceland #winter

First day of my 4x4 northern Iceland tour - no drones / no influencers / barely any tourists - unusual minimal images in abundance. #iceland #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #winter

60mph winds - I could barely stand up straight. On the coast in Orkney, the chances of any light very low that evening, so I started shouting at the skies - the clouds parted! I walked back thinking I could be living in a simulation. #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #scotland #seascape

We are only as good an architectural photographer as the architect allows us to be. Incredible ceiling detail in Winchester Cathedral in Hampshire UK. We are very lucky to have these magnificent buildings! #architecture #cathedral #abstract

Taken on Sunday. Slipped up a muddy slope and punched my #canon R3 and 24-70 into the mud! Then took the picture, spending the next 10mins swearing and cleaning it all off… #landscape #landscapephotographer #nature #photography #dartmoor #uk #horse #fog #forest

I went to Wistman’s Wood for the first time in 14 years. Viral posts caused huge numbers of visitors and damage. I only shot from the edges, as authorities have asked us to keep out. I can report most people are being respectful. #dartmoor #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #fog #woodland

Yesterday afternoon after the glorious start, I went out shooting again, this time with my new Charles Dickens filter 😆 - the fog was so thick it made for some spooky images #landscape #landscapephotography #fog #mist #christmas2025 #church #trees

Stunning conditions this morning for a second time - this in Haytor on Dartmoor around 8:30am... shot with the long lens, my favourite style of photography. Fingers crossed for a repeat tomorrow #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #uk #dartmoor #devon #dawn #sunrise #christmas2025 #mist #fog

An incredible hoar frost in between Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, the sort of beauty and conditions where an encrusted park bench will literally make you cry 😍 #jackson #wyoming #usa #yellowstone #winter #frost #snow #landscape #landscapephotography

The first time I ever went to Hayden Valley I get a herd of bison sitting on the hilltop! Very lucky indeed. They apparently climb up there to graze as the some is not so deep. #yellowstone #winter #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #snow #usa

I am a great appreciator of the industrial landscape and I am particularly fond on northern #Iceland for this very geothermal reason. The south is full of tripods / drones / tourists and I sadly haven't been there for 8 years. #landscape #landscapephotography #industrial #longexposure

Abstract long lens 560mm close up sedimentary features in the Red Valley, #Cappadocia. It was so deep into twilight, it was very hard to focus, the sky had such beautiful orange hues it fully this saturated image #turkey #landscape #landscapephotography #abstract #twilight #lowlight #asia #desert

Its not going anywhere! The south has been wet wet wet this season and the north full of snow. Here's one with a similar vibe as yours.... It turns everything into this sublime pencil and crayon render.

This is an #architecture image from #Paris, the windows are reflecting this backlit pipe structure and distorting it under pressure... It look like it's computer generated #architecture #architecturephotography

A cold day in the office here! Could do with some warmth from a summer in #Provence. This was taken standing on the roof of my hire van as I couldn't get the separation. #sunflowers #provence #france #landscaspe #landscapephotography #photography #summer

A fabulous moment from #Cappadocia in #Turkey that I shot in 2022 - you literally couldn't stage a better moment. This region has everything for the photographer. It's a fabulous #destination at any time of year. #landscapephotographer #landscapephotography #Türkiye

Taken from a helicopter over the #Namibia Deserts in #Africa 2022. What an amazing sight to see. I shot this with an EF100-400 lens on the #Canon R3... an amazing twisting line headed into the fog

Just been making some tour notes and dug out this picture of #godafoss #waterfall from my last trip to Northern #Iceland in 2022. Its such an incredible place. The blocks of ice bashing together in the freezing water beneath you give a very important sense of self preservation.

This insane world of mirrors in #Berlin makes you feel you are falling when you look down, and the sky is falling on top of you when you look up. #architecture is a huge part of my work as a #photographer. Why not join me next year. www.davidclapp.co.uk/workshops/be...
Shot with a fisheye lens, it can make the tightest of spaces seem open.

A recent photograph taken on a scouting trip to #shetland in #scotland. It was a wild afternoon indeed with #rainbows and crashing #waves at #Eshaness #landscapephotography #seascape #stormysea #rainbow #photographer
A long exposure image of the wild Scottish ocean, a wonderful moment of intense light and a complimentary rainbow.
