Landscape Photography: Theory Was Easy, Reality Hit HARD!

Video Description

Unlock the potential of your local landscapes! As a photography educator, I believe in showing you the real journey, not just the final, polished image. Join me in this "practice what I preach" adventure as I take a theoretical location – a beautiful lone tree found through research – and put my own advice to the test with two separate photography outings: capturing a stunning winter sunrise and the spring Milky Way. Witness the on-location struggles, the compositional decisions, and the practical application of landscape photography principles, proving that incredible shots are within reach, even in seemingly simple scenarios. Learn to see the potential around you and discover how theory meets reality in the field. If you want to dive deeper into our techniques for finding and photographing amazing local landscapes, check out our Master Local Landscape Photography course with Nigel Danson (link below!).
