The Internet makes it incredibly easy to learn more photography tips than you could ever use. That said, it’s easy to get overwhelming, especially when applying those tips out in the field. That’s usually because “ideal conditions” in landscape photography rarely exist, and even if they do, the window is often small. Today we have landscape photographer Mark Denney who discusses some on-location tips that have positively impacted his photography over the years:
In theory, we only get to read tips and tricks with these ideal conditions in mind. But when you’re out on location, things can get unpredictable. You need to anticipate, prepare for the moment and, when the moment really does present itself, act on it quickly. Otherwise, the opportunity will be lost.
Watch the video as Denney explains how he works in these scenarios. He talks you through what he looks for when setting up his composition, how he anticipates the conditions to change, why he uses a certain lens and what qualities he looks for in a light when composing a shot. Being able to develop such a thought process is essential because it allows you to put all of your knowledge into practice. Otherwise, all those tips you’ve learned are useless.
It is important that you go out, shoot and put your knowledge to practice in order to be a better photographer. What good is the knowledge if you cannot apply it?
