How lanscape photography helped me to become a better person?

 

I was thinking a lot on how to start this blog. I was thinking at first that gear review will be a good idea, but everyone do that. You can find tons of articles like that on the internet. I wanted to do something different. So decided to share with you my history how landscape photography changed my life for better.

Better time management

Before I started to do landscape pictures I had really big problems with managing my time. I was always late on the meetings, I was missing important stuff. That was changed since I started to hunt for a perfect light conditions. I you want shoot sunrise or sunset you just can't miss it otherwise you will end up with boring pictures. You need to prepare yourself, wake up early (sometimes very early), drive to the destination, hike and count for a nice weather conditions. Only then you will be able to count for descent picture. That taught me how to plan with time ahead.

 

Humility lesson

Being a landscape photographer means total surrender to the elements. Going out doesn't mean you will get back with portfolio pictures. Sometimes conditions will not allow you to take the camera out of your backpack. Sometimes you will hike and have perfect sky over your head, but when you will reach your destination it will be completely cloudy. This is something that we do not have any influence and personally this taught me how small we are and how mother nature is powerful.
