Seeing that the majority of what I shoot are landscapes and what little time I do spend thinking about lighting has to do with where shadows are falling, I'll need to remember this one the next time I go out.

I take many of my best images while out walking and try to choose times when the light is dramatic. Stormy days often provide exciting photo opportunities which may only last for a few seconds so you need to be out there when it happens. Thank you for all your valuable tips.

Basic really but something I think a lot of people struggle with. Those images inspired me to explore what I've learned about light since my early days...thank you.
