Landscape Photography in the Middle of the Day

Most of the time, when you think of landscape photography, you probably think of golden hour, with soft and warm light spilling across the scene. And while that can make for fantastic images, if you restrict yourself to just a few hours a day, you are missing out on quite a few opportunities. This great video tutorial shows you the benefits of landscape photography in the middle of the day.

Coming to you from Brendan van Son, this excellent video tutorial discusses landscape photography in the middle of the day. While golden hour can provide some fantastic opportunities, you can make compelling photos in any kind of light at any time of day. The key is to understand what types of photos different qualities of light are conducive to rather than trying to fight the light and will images into existence, particularly through extreme editing. It can also be a great time to scout different locations you would like to shoot in different light so you are prepared when you return. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
