Woodlands are always atmospheric when the light is right, providing an incredible opportunity to push your lenses to the limits. This Mission is all about how you can create a sense of atmosphere in the woodland environment. Soft and dreamy light rays through the trees? Dark and mysterious pathway winding through? Close up details of a forest floor? Let's see it! The Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS Sports was made for this, with the reach to compress the woodland into layers, and the fast aperture to lift one tree out of mist in the soft light under the canopy. Be sure to turn on Shot Recipe to show what gear you shot it on!

That golden light makes everything better! ✨ This Landscape Mission celebrates those warm, golden moments when landscapes transform into something truly special. Capture landscapes during the golden hour... that sweet spot when everything glows with warm, soft light. Hills, trees, water, rocks... whatever your landscape, show us how golden hour transforms it. ⚡️ Mission Tips: 🌅 Arrive early and stay late... golden hour moves fast but the best light often comes right at the edges 🔥 Expose for the highlights to keep that golden glow from blowing out completely ⛰️ Side-lit subjects show texture and dimension better than front-lit ones 🎨 Warm up your white balance slightly in editing to enhance that golden feeling Tell us about your golden hour adventure... was it worth the early wake-up?

When less is more! ✨ This Landscape Mission is about stripping landscapes down to their essentials... finding those clean, simple scenes where one tiny detail anchors the entire shot. Think vast skies with a single cloud, empty beaches with one rock, or rolling hills with a lone fence post. Post landscapes that feel clean and uncluttered, with one small focal point for maximum impact. ⚡️ Mission Tips: 🎯 Look for scenes that are naturally simple, don't try to force minimalism 🧹 Clean compositions work better... avoid distracting elements at the edges ⚖️ Balance is key... your small subject should feel perfectly placed, not lost 🎨 Neutral tones often work brilliantly for minimalist scenes 📐 Use leading lines or natural shapes to guide the eye to your focal point What drew you to keep it so simple? Sometimes the most minimal scenes pack the biggest punch.

The coast never gets old! 🌊 This Mission celebrates those magic spots where land crashes into ocean... the rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, rocky shores and everything in between that makes coastal landscapes so addictive to shoot. Show us your best coastal landscapes. Cliffs, beaches, coves, or any spot where the shoreline creates drama. ⚡️ Mission Tips: 🌊 Time it right... golden hour light makes water and wet rocks absolutely sing 📏 Use leading lines from the shoreline, waves, or rock formations to guide the eye through your frame 🏔️ Include foreground interest like rocks, driftwood, or tide pools to add depth and scale 📱 Try a longer exposure to smooth out choppy water, or freeze the action to capture crashing waves 🎯 Don't forget the details... sometimes the best coastal shots are found in rock pools and textures Tell us about this stretch of coast. Is it a local favourite or somewhere you travelled to capture?
