Have you ever been in a beautiful place, been paid to photograph the best sunset you’ve ever seen, but you couldn’t because your camera battery was depleted?Maybe you, as a landscape photographer, realized that almost all your photos were unusable because they all came out with dust stains?
Don’t worry. Many landscape photographers have experienced the same situations, fortunately you can develop certain habits so as not to lose photos again, none of them require much time or money, so there is no excuse not to include them in your work schedule.
- Can it seem obvious that a landscape photographer? What about any other kind of photographer?You need to charge the camera batteries before you go to the field.
- But you’d be surprised to know that many people leave with batteries that are already used frequently.
Actually, I bet you’ve been through this, haven’t you?(But don’t worry, a lot of photographers have already done it. )
Therefore, it is important that landscape photographers become in the habit of fully charging all batteries as soon as they return home after a photo shoot. If you decide to do so before taking a photo, you can forget it or unplug it before it loads. finished because of the haste.
Cleaning photographic equipment is extremely important (especially for landscape photographers), not only to increase camera life, but also to improve image quality.
Is it always frustrating to upload our photos to your computer and let the beautiful images spoil for hundreds of points?Big, small powder. It’s useless and very easy to solve, so why make others think you’re not as talented as you really are because of the dirt stains?
You don’t need more than a cheap microfiber cloth to remove dust and subject from your lens or lens filters, however, although this is enough in most cases (and something to carry in the bag with the photographic equipment), it is. It is also recommended to purchase cleaning products suitable for the photographic purpose. They are ideal for deep cleaning, especially to remove stains caused by sea salt and sand.
This habit to acquire is perhaps the most important advice we will give to a landscape photographer: don’t leave until you’re done.
Many photographers learn this habit in the worst way
Many amateur photographers think that sunrise or sunset often becomes nothing, especially on cloudy days; instead of standing still and waiting for this phenomenon to end, they decide to leave and expect better weather conditions next time.
And what happens on the way home? The sky becomes a work of art in seconds.
This doesn’t mean you don’t have minutes of light simply because you’re photographing on cloudy days, sometimes the sky doesn’t get spectacular, but it doesn’t cost anything to wait 10 or 20 minutes to pass the test.
So think about it the next time you leave early: it’s not over, until it’s over. Wait a minute, be patient, and you may get a landscape photograph worthy of a work of art.
