Opinion: Planning is the key to consistently great landscape photographs

If you read N-Photo: The Nikon Magazine you’ll know that we run a monthly ten-page feature called The Apprentice, which documents a reader experiencing a one-to-one workshop with a Nikon professional photographer. In a recent Apprentice article (N-Photo 125), landscape professional Edyta Rice coached a reader during a dusk and dawn landscape shoot in the Brecon Beacons. 

Condensing a two-day shoot into a ten-page magazine article is a challenging task, and plenty of information had to be left on the cutting-room floor. While the article touches upon Edyta’s planning process, it doesn’t quite hammer home just how rigorous it really is – and I think it’s something we can learn from.
