Spend enough time on the internet, and you might begin to think that landscape photography is all about traveling to beautiful locations and creating jaw-dropping images while basking in the best light. And while there can certainly be a lot of adventure in the genre, it can also be quite a slog at times. This honest video takes a look at the reality of landscape photography.
Coming to you from Photo Tom, this great video takes a look at the reality of being a landscape photographer. I think it is important to consider this for two reasons. First, if you are thinking of getting into landscape photography at a serious level, it is important to have an accurate idea of what the life is like. Second, if you are already in the genre, I think it helps to see that others have days where things go wrong or they struggle as well, as the well-pruned lives we are shown on the internet can be a bit discouraging sometimes. Check out the video above for a refreshingly honest look at the pursuit.
