>>2876718>portrayal of an emotion or a message in generalthis is overrated, photographs that are designed with such a simple idea in mind tend to be kind of simpleminded (see: Doisneau). you need to think about what you're photographing and respond to it. you also need to think about what you want to remember.
if you are planning on taking pictures of things and not people you'll probably want a good tripod around. a lot of the good light you see while camping is pretty dim. the number one rule of landscapes is: move around a LOT to try and find a good vantage point. if you're taking a picture of a place, try and think about what it would look like if you took it from a different spot. and get off the trails, every photograph from a hiking trail focuses on the trail more than the wilderness.
