While you can do it at any time of day you wish, landscape photography is often done around sunrise and sunset, and that can often require you to be in position, far from home, at very early and late hours. And because of that, camping for landscape photography can not only be fun, it can be quite practical for getting the shots you want. This fun video follows a landscape photographer as he camps overnight and shows you the experience.
Coming to you from Thomas Heaton, this great video shows the experience of camping overnight for landscape photography. This can be a great way to get yourself in position for a spectacular sunrise without having to get up at 3 am to make the drive and hike to a location, but it can also simply be a lot of fun. I think landscape photography is as much about the experience as the images, and being able to just be in nature is one of the best aspects of the craft. Of course, we all would love to have a nice camper van like Heaton, but remember, you don't necessarily need all that, especially if you're in a relatively tame climate and in a safe area. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Heaton.
