How to Take Great Landscape Photos No Matter the Weather

When it comes to landscape photography, we are at the mercy of the elements, and that can be a really frustrating thing, particularly when you have hiked for hours with a bag of gear on your back. So, what can you do when the weather is not great? The truth is that you can create worthwhile photos in any conditions as long as you approach things the right way. This excellent video tutorial will show you how. 

Coming to you from Michael Shainblum, this great video tutorial will show you how to create compelling landscape photos in any conditions. This is an important lesson to learn, as I truly believe any conditions are conducive to good photos, but that the key is to embrace them and work with the elements and light you are given. Photographers often have a certain image in mind and will try to force it into existence through editing after the fact, but that leads to frustration more often than anything. Rather, be willing to pivot as needed, and you are likely to come home with better shots and enjoy the experience a lot more. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Shainblum.
