One of the most enjoyable and sometimes frustrating aspects of landscape photography is that you have no control over the elements of the frame, the lighting, or the surrounding conditions. And that often means things won’t go as you expected or planned, but that shouldn’t discourage you. This excellent video features an experienced landscape photographer discussing one of the key elements to improving your work.
Coming to you from Mike Smith, this great video discusses the importance of persistence in landscape photography. Without a doubt, it is frustrating when you put in the time and effort to get to a location that seems to be hampered by the wrong conditions. However, the thing to remember is that you can make photos worth it no matter what you encounter, as long as you work with what you’re given instead of against it. And what’s more, the opportunity to spend time outdoors with our cameras never disappoints; Never forget that you do this because it’s what gives you joy. Sometimes the solution is simply to pause your expectations and go with the flow for a bit. Watch the video above for the full summary from Smith.
