Missed opportunities and learning lessons in landscape photography with Thomas Heaton

 

 

In photographer Thomas Heaton's newest video, he opens by discussing the many wonderful aspects of landscape photography. It allows you to travel and explore, you get to become more involved with nature and the great outdoors and it can be very rewarding and enjoyable. Heaton recently headed north to Scotland for location scouting and a bit of photography.

While out in northwestern Scotland, he was treated to beautiful light. However, for various reasons, the great light did not result in a suitably good photograph. The situation highlights a less-enjoyable aspect of doing landscape photography. Sometimes you put in the time and effort and the conditions turn out amazing, but you just cannot bring it all together in a single excellent frame. It happens. There are often lessons to be learned from these moments, at least, but that doesn't make it less frustrating. Follow along with Heaton as he analyzes what worked, what didn't and offers some great tips for how to handle failures to better prepare for future successes.
