When it comes to landscape photography, "good" light is generally thought of as that which occurs around golden hour, with softer, warm rays cascading across the scene. However, we are not always there at the right time, nor are we always lucky enough to get that kind of light. That does not mean you should pack your gear away and head home, though. Harsh light can make for excellent images as well, and this great video tutorial will show you how to get as much as you can out of it.
Coming to you from Adam Gibbs, this excellent video tutorial will show you how to work with harsh light in landscape photography. I strongly believe that compelling imagery can be made in any light, but where we often go wrong is trying to take photos that the light at hand is not conducive to rather than working with what we are given. If you embrace the quality of the light and understand the images it is best suited to, you are more likely to find success and enjoyment. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Gibbs.
