Every genre comes with its own unique challenges, and landscape photography is no different. Beyond all the skills one must have, there are certain personal qualities that set you up for success, and this awesome video tutorial discusses what they are and how they can help you realize your potential.
Coming to you from Mike Smith, this great video tutorial discusses the importance of commitment and persistence to becoming a successful landscape photographer. No doubt, it is not fun getting out of bed at 4 am just to hike out to a location, particularly when you do not have the guarantee of even getting the conditions you want, but on the other hand, if you do not head out at all, your chances are zero. There are also issues like dealing with inclement weather, the physical demands of the genre, and more. On the other hand, when you persevere through all those things and come home with a great image, it is hard to beat the feeling of pride that goes along with it. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Smith.
