Photography Tips
Moody weather can create atmospheric images, and a telephoto lens is useful for isolating mountains, glaciers, and details in the landscape. Keep your gear protected from spray and moisture, and have a cleaning cloth and lens-cleaning set ready to remove water droplets and salt from your equipment.
