I Changed One Thing in the Field (Landscape Photography)

Landscape photography is a beautiful thing, but sometimes it can be hard to get creative and find images and compositions that you're happy with. I was out with my Canon 5D MKIV, I had misty conditions which is perfect for photography, but I could not make any images. I was frustrated and ready to call it a day until I changed one thing: I took my camera out of the bag and kept it in my hand. Honestly, the difference this made was incredible.

Always something so peaceful about your videos! Never that stressful, beauitful sceneries, a sense of adventure and most of all an inspiration! You inspired me to get up before sunrise the other day, plan my location and timings etc and capture the rolling fog and sunrise. And that has equally inspired some of my friends and instagram followers to do the same. Keep up the cracking work mate, stay safe and stay awesome!

Seeing the changes in that tree over only a few weeks was great! Where I live in Australia things don’t change much from season to season so I love seeing the more dynamic seasons around the world. The middle shot is my favourite, with the few leaves still dotted around. I’m glad you got your camera out to wander around with. It’s something I always do as I’m too lazy and otherwise I’d just hardly take a photo! 😄

Hi Thomas - we had our first snow fall today and I popped out with the camera thinking about some trees I've scouted several times. However, when I got there I just could not get any shots!! I continued walking and then came back the same route only to discover better light and a couple of shots 'appeared' that I had walked past earlier. They've turned out great and it just goes to show that you should focus on enjoying the walk in these circumstances and then re-focus. Thanks

About not being able to travel very far - I hear you! Having said that, it's still nice to explore locally. I suppose if you keep going back to familiar places you start to notice things more. Cyclists, horse riders, dog walkers, hikers.... they were everywhere at the weekend, so everyone must be eager to get out.

Enjoyed the video. The creepy photographer comment reminded me of one afternoon at a park this fall. This park had a cluster of miniature trees of sorts that don't really go that far off the ground but rather spread sideways, and their foliage was very vibrant and still quite full. I was standing close looking at one of them for maybe half a minute when I suddenly realized that it had a person with a camera under it trying to shoot the sun coming through the leaves. As I walked further, I confirmed that every single tree in the cluster had its own photographer under it trying to shoot exactly the same thing. One of them glanced at my own camera and he looked ready to wrestle for his territory, if need be, so I gave him his space.
