As we reach the end of the week, we want to feature a few of our favorite Instagram accounts for another edition of Instagram Follow Friday. This week we highlight a group of travel and adventure photographers who are getting out in the wild and delivering us a front row view of some of the most beautiful places in nature. And, with autumn colors peaking in much of the US, these photographers are also capturing the allure of the changing seasons. Proceed with caution – these accounts might make you want to quit your day job to explore the great outdoors!

Don’t forget to tag your own Sony photography posts with #BeAlpha for your chance to be featured on an Instagram Follow Friday. You also only have a few days left to enter the Be Alpha Challenge! November 6 is the final day to enter for your chance to win a Hawaiian photography excursion with five members of the #AlphaCollective! 

Scott Kranz – @scott_kranz

Scott is based in Seattle and another member of the #AlphaCollective. His Instagram bio says, “sharing stories from the mountains,” and that’s exactly what you’ll see on his account. Mountaintops tearing through layers of clouds, beautiful lakes tucked in valleys, and views from high above after long treks to get there. In fact, just a few weeks ago he completed his 50 Peaks Project, summiting 50 peaks this year alone within North Cascades National Park, including the 10 highest. Now, that’s impressive.

Theresa Wang – @travelswitheresa

Theresa is based in Portland, Oregon, and her Instagram bio pegs her as an outdoor adventurer and urban explorer. She documents her adventures in nature using her Sony α7R II and α6000, and the results are stunning.
