Landscape photography is a challenging genre that takes a combination of good technique, creative vision, strong editing skills, and the ability to plan ahead. If you are just starting out and looking to improve your work, check out this great video tutorial that features an experienced landscape photographer discussing seven things professionals do to ensure they consistently produce worthwhile images. 

Coming to you from Mark Denney, this excellent video tutorial discusses seven good habits to get into as a landscape photographer. One thing you will probably notice is a strong through-line of planning. There is certainly nothing wrong with grabbing your camera and taking shots wherever you happen to wander that day, but because landscape photography leaves you at the mercy of the light and elements, if you have a specific image in mind, it will do you a lot of good to understand how conditions will evolve and when to time your shot. Similarly, when it comes to the editing stage, we can often improvise our way to something great, but having a preconceived idea in mind can often help you develop a stronger, more consistent creative voice. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.
