The Harsh Reality of Landscape Photography

The reality of landscape photography is far less romantic, adventurous and rewarding as it may appear here on KZbin. Landscape photography is a notoriously unpredictable endeavour and this video is a perfect example of what a typical Landscape Photography shoot ends up being; a bit frantic, changeable, unexpected, and even with the right planning, a little disappointing.
All that being said, Landscape Photography is my passion and being out in the landscape and in nature far outweighs the potential disappointment of not getting the photos we initially planned. Any opportunity to immerse yourself in the landscape will be endlessly beneficial - the photos are just a bonus for me.

Thanks for watching folks! Who else can resonate with this video? How do you feel during landscape photography Shoots that don't go to plan? 📸

😅Inspiring video. And to me, the landscape crop. The piece of wood does not occupy the whole image. It's only my opinion

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment - I really appreciate it! 🙏🏻 yeah I like that there’s more in the frame in the landscape shot and perhaps a little more balance

Hi Chris. Very nice and honest video! I prefer landscape crop, but then I always do. 😅

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Thanks Frode! Really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! 🙏🏻 I think I like the landscape crop more too! It’s cool to hear that in a world of social media where most photos we see are portrait orientation that there are still people who appreciate landscape orientation photos 👍🏻😀

Hi Chris, recently came across your channel and loved it! I’m fascinated by photography but it’s also quite intimidating. I’m looking at getting a camera to get started, I would really love to see a video / hear your advice for those starting out on their journey into photography P.S. mostly as a hobby

Hi Chris, thanks for your video. It does show that landscape photography an be disappointing at times but you said the most important thing at the end - it's always a success when you are out in nature and enjoying what you are doing. P.S I love the drone shots.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Hi Mary! Thanks for your support as always, I really appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Great to know you liked the drone shots too - they were definitely an unexpected bonus for me! A completely different perspective compared to how I was hoping to photograph those channels! It’s always nice when things like that happen 😄
