Stop Shooting Landscape Photos From The Trail (Do This Instead)

If your landscape photos look flat, boring, or "snapshotty," it’s likely because of one specific habit: Convenience. In this video, I explain why you must Stop Shooting From The Trail and how moving just 250 feet can transform a throwaway shot into a portfolio-worthy image.

Landscape Photography Composition isn't just about the Rule of Thirds or leading lines. It’s about learning to "work the scene" and create depth. I break down a real-life example from the Dolly Sods wilderness to show you exactly how to fix the 3 biggest composition mistakes beginners make.

We will cover why your photos lack a "Hero," how to use Foreground Interest to create 3D depth, and why your feet are more important than your lens.
