We tend to be inundated by images of grand, epic scenes when it come to landscape photography, and it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking those are the only photographs worth taking. This excellent video discusses why even seemingly normal scenes can be turned into worthwhile images.
Coming to you from Thomas Heaton, this fantastic video discusses stepping back from “epic” landscape photography and exploring your local area instead. I think this is more important to consider than ever. With COVID, travel is very restricted right now, and traveling to popular locations simply is not an option right now. On the other hand, grabbing your camera and going for a walk can be a great way to get a bit of exercise and clear your head for a bit. On top of that, I am a big advocate of shooting your local area. This is because when it comes to selling prints, other people from your area will likely have a strong connection with places they recognize and have spent parts of their life in, and no one will know how to capture those places better than someone who knows the area.
