Any tips on taking landscape photography such that distant prominences like mountains don’t seem tiny? Like those mountains absolutely dominate the photo. When I take photos of mountains I struggle to have the hugeness come through.

Well it's case by case. Like this shot it's very close to the mountains so I used 24mm and the mountains aren't super small. Some people do focal length blending, shot the mountains bigger and composite it with wider foreground shot.

Nice thank you! And even then I bet the photo is nothing compared to the majesty of being there in person.

No problem. Feel free to ask me anything. And yes, most of the times photo don't do justice to the real scenery.

Yeah it’s something in the brain that makes it amazing. You can feel the distance and size.

You can give out all the tips you want. It still takes talent and an artistic eye to come out with a shot like this even in a place where you can look in any direction and take a "nice" picture. Well done OP. Solid reminder of why I would like to visit Patagonia.
