Great light isn't random. After 15 years of landscape photography, William Patino makes the case that almost none of his best work has come down to luck. It comes down to reading the sky, understanding cloud behavior, and knowing exactly what to do once conditions start to break your way.

If you've been shooting professionally for more than a year, you've met all of these people. They aren't bad people.

I've been asked more times than I can count when I'm finally going to move on from my DSLR. The assumption is always the same.
