How To Take Great Landscape Photos at Any Time of Day and in Any Conditions

Many times, when landscape photographers head out the door, they do so with a specific time of day and weather conditions in mind. However, if you are headed out for an entire day for a hike with your camera, wouldn't you like to ensure you can get great photos at any time and in any weather? This great video tutorial features an experienced landscape photographer showing you how to do just that. 

Coming to you from Nigel Danson, this excellent video tutorial will show you how to take compelling landscape images at any time of day and in any conditions. I am a firm believer that worthwhile photos can be made in any environment. The mistake people often make is trying to force a preconceived image into existence instead of working with what the conditions are conducive to. If you normally shoot a certain style of image, it can be tough to break this habit, so try to consciously ask yourself if the photos you are making are working with or against the conditions at that moment. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Danson.
