Helpful On-Location Tips That Will Improve Your Landscape Photography

Landscape photography is a difficult genre that takes solid technique, good creativity, and the ability to plan ahead and anticipate changing conditions. This fantastic video tutorial details a range of on-location tips that will help you create better and more compelling landscape images. 

Coming to you from Mark Denney, this great video tutorial discusses some helpful on-location tips for better landscape photos. One thing I often struggle with on location is keeping calm and sticking with the plan. Because landscape photography often requires a healthy degree of planning to work with the weather and the light, it is pretty common to go into a shoot with specific locations and shots in mind at specific times of day. I often get distracted by spontaneous shots that arise on my way there. And while there is nothing with being spontaneous, the planned shots are often better simply because so much work went into crafting them. Try not to lose sight of the images you trekked out to get in the first place. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.
