5 Things every Outdoor Photographer should do!

Here are 5 things I think landscape photographers, adventure photographers and all other kinds of outdoor photographers could benefit from doing, from the day before going out to get photos to while you're out shooting. If you can think of any more - let me know :)

    Great video James. The advice you asked for: Don’t change your lives, we did and somehow regret it. The little one will “appreciate” you both more if you go ahead and spend your days in the same “boring” manner (for you it might be, for him everything is new and consequently exciting). Be safe and congratulations 🎊🎉🍾.

    James, I am so happy for you and Emily!! Congratulations! You really rocked me back in my chair when you just pull out the ultrasound... LOL! You are both going to be great parents! I just know it. We couldn't have our own and so God set us on the adoption path. I can tell you James, there is no rule book. Not saying that you shouldn't read or go to classes mind you, but we learned (and still do... our daughter is 17 yrs old now) to just live each precious moment and instill in that little one all that you know and love. Anyway, I have no doubt that you will be fantastic parents and that your little one will be richer for having you. Many blessings to you both. Cheers!

    Congrats!!! I got an advice, when my first kid was 2-3 months old, and we literally slept nothing: the bigger the kid, the bigger the problem :) And the joy. And the bills. But newer mind, it is fun really. Lock your office door, make lots of videos before august, and sleep. Sleep a lot! And buy bigger storage for baby photoes.

    An unsolicited one to go along with your ‘know your camera tip’; when you are out there shooting in manual mode, based on current lighting situation there is a general setting for most of the shots that you set your camera for, sometimes you tweak settings for a particular shot so after taking that shot always revert to the general exposure setting (iso shutter speed and aperture) else one might end up under or over exposing next shot that quickly popped up and fixing that in Post could be a nightmare.

    Congratulations to you and Emily on the new assistant/invoicing clerk. We're due to be grandparents for the first time in June so also super excited. As parents of 4 (now all adults) my only piece of advice is this "take EVERY piece of advice, especially unsolicited advice, as an opinion to think about, then do what feels right to you and don't be worried about getting things wrong, or changing your mind based on experience." Enjoy your new adventure! 😁❤️
