TOP 5 Motivation tips

Stay positive – and reap the rewards

13 ARRIVE EARLY, LEAVE LATE

The point at which the sun passes the horizon isn’t necessarily the best time to shoot. Aim to be on location an hour before sunrise and up to an hour after sunset to enjoy many more opportunities.

14 DO IT FOR YOURSELF

Shoot the kinds of landscape images you enjoy, purely for your own enjoyment. Don’t get caught up in the quest for likes on social media platforms.

15 TRY TO FORGET ABOUT GEAR

Getting new kit is always exciting, but it won’t guarantee better landscape images. Overcoming limitations can lead to creative workarounds.

16 SHOOT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE

You know what they say: practice makes perfect. Shoot as often as possible to refine your skills, hone your eye, learn to work more efficiently, and get to know your kit inside out.

17 TAKE A PHOTO WORKSHOP

Taking a group or one-to-one workshop with a professional photographer you admire is the perfect way to improve your skills. What’s more, you’ll be able to pick up skills unique to that photographer.
