Bad light is something every landscape photographer will have to deal with at one time or another, but that does not mean you have to pack up your bag and head back home without any worthwhile images. This helpful video tutorial features an experienced landscape photographer walking you through dealing with poor lighting and still coming home with interesting photos.
Coming to you from Nigel Danson, this awesome video tutorial discusses how to handle poor lighting in landscape photography. Even with the most careful planning in advance, this is something you will encounter at one time or another. One thing that is worth noticing is that flat lighting can be really nice for closer detail shots. Of course, that is not to say you can't take more traditional wide angle photos with a bit of adjustment, but that flat light can be great for heading into a nearby forest and getting anything from photos of individual trees to macro shots of leaves or the like. And the beauty of the flat light is that it leaves a lot of room in post to dodge and burn to sculpt the images to your desire. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Danson.
