How a Professional Landscape Photographer Creates an Image From Capture Through Editing

Landscape photography is a challenging genre that takes the confluence of a lot of techniques, creative ideas, and more to bring an image to fruition, but it is quite rewarding when you see the finished photo. This awesome video tutorial will show you how a professional landscape photographer shoots an image, from choosing the right focal length all the way through the edit. 

Coming to you from Landscape Photography iQ with Tom Mackie, this great video tutorial will show you how he shoots a landscape photo from start to finish. One thing that I have always loved about landscape photography is how many distinct images you can get from a single scene, depending on the time of day, the weather, the season, and more. If you are newer to the genre, do not be afraid to experiment with different focal lengths. We almost all tend to default to using wide angle lenses for landscape work, and while they can certainly produce fantastic results, a telephoto can be an excellent way to explore your creativity. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Mackie.
