No doubt, today's world often demands the ability to constantly produce content at a breakneck pace, and that can put a lot of pressure on photographers. Even if you do not make money from your photography, you might find yourself impatient when the right shot just has not materialized yet. This excellent video essay follows a landscape photographer as he discusses how a bit of patience can be one of the best things for improving your images.
Coming to you from Chris Sale, this great video essay discusses the importance of patience in landscape photography. While this is a great quality for any photographer to have, I think it is particularly important in landscape photography, where you do not have control of the light and conditions. Sometimes, you will have done everything right, from scouting the location to finding a perfect composition, but then the light or clouds just aren't quite right yet. And the hardest thing to do sometimes is simply to wait, particularly when you are excited to get the shot or you want to move on to the next location. But patience is often rewarded. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Sale.
