When you think of memorable landscape images, you probably think of golden hour shots with dramatic rays cascading across the frame, but there is a lot more to life than that. Any light, even "bad light," can produce worthwhile images, and if you spend your time waiting for those magic golden hour moments, you are missing out on a lot of photo opportunities. This great video discusses the issue and the sort of personal philosophy that can make bad light days more enjoyable.
Coming to you from James Popsys, this insightful video discusses the issue of bad light in landscape photography and what one can do about it. No doubt, considering the often significant time and effort it can take simply to get to a location, it can be tremendously frustrating when the conditions don't cooperate. However, I firmly believe worthwhile photos can be made in any light, but where we often go wrong is trying to force a certain image into existence rather than reading and embracing the light we're given and making images it is conducive to. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Popsys.
