All words and images by Dan Ballard
Landscape photography is all about taking the viewer on a journey through the amazing, fleeting moments nature creates. It is about looking deeper, and creating a sense of awe at the world. It is about showing the world in its finest light.
Like most landscape photographers I found out the hard way that it's not easy to take photos that stir emotions. After thousands of hours spent looking for great images, I noticed that I used certain simple ideas every time I went out.
While the concepts that follow are not complicated, I find them to be key to creating great images.
One of the biggest keys to success in photography is hard work and dedication. Go and shoot as often as possible in great light, and try my ten ideas.
Not only will you start to create more inspiring images, you will witness some of the most beautiful moments nature has to offer…
If I were asked whether I would rather shoot a beautiful location in average light or a boring location in amazing light, the answer is easy: amazing light every time.
