A Five-Step Process to Shooting Moody Landscape Photos

A lot of landscape photos are vibrant, bright, and bursting with color, light, and life, but of course, that is not the only way to create a compelling image. Moody landscapes can be just as eye-catching, and this awesome video tutorial will show you a five-step process to creating them.

Coming to you Mads Peter Iversen, this great video tutorial will show you a five-step process for creating moody landscape photos. I am particularly fond of this style simply because I live in Ohio, where gray skies and raining are often the order of the day. In fact, Cleveland is one of the cloudiest cities in the country, averaging 299 cloudy days a year. If I waited for sunny, partly cloudy days, I would almost never get out with my camera. And though I have embraced this style mostly out of necessity (at least to begin with), even if you live on a tropical island with perfect skies almost every single day, it is a worthwhile thing to try. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Iversen.

I've often wanted to capture foggy days. But, they're hard to predict.
