Landscape Photography Opportunities Are Closer Than You Think

by Alex Cooke

If you look at a lot of the work of top landscape photographers, you might get the impression that the subjects of their photos are hidden away in hard-to-reach locations that require significant time and resources to reach. And sure, that is true sometimes, but you might be surprised by just how much is available to you close by. This great video discusses just how much you can capture with ease.

Coming to you from Ben Horne, this awesome video shows off three great images he was able to take that were all within a few steps of a nearby road. Of course, this is not to say that you should not seek out new locations simply because they might take some effort to get to. Rather, I think it is important to remember that with a bit of creativity and technique, you can make great images pretty much anywhere, and as such, you should not be discouraged by the seeming inaccessibility of some popular locations. It might be worth taking a short afternoon drive with your camera!
