Landscape photography can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be a rather frustrating genre, since unlike most others, you do not get control over the light or a large portion of the scene. So, how do you ensure you find success no matter what nature gives you when you head out with your camera? This great video essay discusses what to do.
Coming to you from Mads Peter Iversen, this awesome video essay discusses how to always find success in landscape photography. I think Iversen makes an important point regarding the importance of being willing to improvise as needed. That is not to say that we should head out without ever planning our shots or paying attention to the conditions, but often, nature deviates from what we expected of it. Trying to force a shot into existence or just packing your gear in and heading home never does much good. But every scene and set of conditions can produce worthwhile photos as long as you embrace what they're conducive to instead of working against them. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Iversen.

Mads is fantastic, always love his content, but I did prefer it when he shared his own videos:)
