Better advice is to do MOST of your photography during the “magic” hours. Don’t neclect the midday out of hand, however. Once in awhile you will find the drama there as well; a thunderstorm or dramatic clouds for example. All rules are made to be broken, as long as you know why you are breaking them.

I have shot thousands of Landscape Photos. I have worked hard for every shot that I have put on my website and you can view those for examples of following the guidlines listed above. They are guidlines that can be pushed ,broken and forgotten at times to produce spectactular scenes. But you need to start with them as a foundation. I learned one day as I was shooting snow covered scene in southern California (we don’t get them often) to don the most important thing, SLOW DOWN. I am on a snow covered trail and ayoung man blasts up in his 4-whell drive truck, jumps out scrambles around grabs his rig on a tripod and dashes of through the snow, within a minute he was back and raced off to his next destination. I don’t know what he saw but I was able to some wonderful waterfallsa half mile down the trail. I know he didn’t see them, because my foot prints we the only ones there. I know that i would have missed some beautiful shots of I continued to be as impatient as the young man.

So when you go out to shoot have everythign ready before you go shoot, clean gass, sensor, clothes, charges batteries, flashlight, extra film/memory cards, a snack or two.. Yes take some extra clothes with you too. I move to the best point of view, standing in the middle of the street, laying down on a trail, wet sand, knee deep in warms surf or freezing water, mud, rain, all during the golden hours.

When you go to a remote location always tell someone where you are going and don’t deviate from the plan, leave a map if necessary for them to beable to see the route you are taking in and out. If you see something that could detour you don’t! Mark it on a map and go back to it as soon as you can. Happy hunting and feel free to contact me.

I will take away from this article that if there is not an interesting sky, that I had better find an interesting foreground for sure then.

Any recommended tripods for landscape photography?
