What Do You Do When Everything Goes Wrong in Landscape Photography?

Landscape photography can be a frustrating pursuit at times, as you are at the mercy of what the light and weather give you, and those do not always align with your plans. That does not mean you should just pack up your camera and go home, though. You can still get worthwhile images in such scenarios, and this excellent video follows a photographer as he encounters just such a situation, providing an important lesson.

Coming to you from Brent Hall, this great video follows him as he deals with less-than-ideal conditions. No doubt, this can be tremendously frustrating, but I think it is important to maintain a certain degree of flexibility in landscape work. This is not to say you should not plan ahead, but conditions can change and plans can go awry. I firmly believe that one can make good photos in any light, as long as you work to create images that the light is conducive to. A lot of times, we can dig our heels in and try to will a certain sort of image into existence, only to be disappointed when it just doesn't work with the light, but if we are willing to stay on our toes a bit, we can increase our chances of success. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Hall.
