TOP 5 Location tips

Get more from the places you shoot

31 BE ORIGINAL

Honeypot locations are popular because, well, they’re great locations. When you visit these locations, grab the archetypal shot by all means, but also try to find more distinctiv­e shots, too.

32 REVISIT LOCATIONS

Even if you visit a location and all the elements fall into place, allowing you to capture the perfect shot, revisit in different seasons and weather conditions to grow your portfolio.

33 EMBRACE LUCK

Planning is incredibly important for increasing your chances of success, but there’s no denying that landscape photograph­y often relies on a huge burst of good luck. So when it comes your way, go with it!

34 BE PATIENT

Waiting can be boring, but if you arrive at a location and the conditions aren’t what you hoped for, set up and wait to see if things change. You only need the right few seconds to get the shot.

35 BE FRIENDLY

You’ll inevitably meet other photograph­ers while you’re shooting. Rather than shying away from everyone, why not start a conversati­on? You may make a new friend or pick up some invaluable knowledge.
