What does it take to be a professional landscape photographer? Surely you just need a really expensive camera? Perhaps you've got to be a Photoshop wizard or maybe you just need to know all of the science behind F-stops and optics?
The truth is much simpler. You just need to show up.
Some of the most widely enjoyed images in history were created by inexpert hands and were more the result of opportunity than technical prowess.
Of course, it helps to know what you're doing but even after decades of perfecting the art, there's still no substitute for being in the right place at the right time. This is perhaps the most significant trait of the professional landscape photographer.
In this video I finish showcasing some of my best images of the last 2 years with insightful stories into the experience of capturing the shot as well as technical insights into how I put it all together.
Every adventure comes with its challenges but you'll never win if you don't show up.

    The white trees are not likely bleached... what is likely happening is called Silicification. It is where the tree's organic skeletal material (pulp/cellulose) is slowly absorbing calcium and silica through a process called dissolution. Over decades, the wood becomes a mineral. These minerals are white/clear colored making the trees looking white as the wood "pulp" is slowly replaced by minerals. It is similar to Petrification of a tree except the key minerals are calcium and silica.

After seeing your second video of your favorites, you have set the benchmark that all other photographers can compare their images to. Again, well done Gavin! You have worked your backside off to be the best!

I think my favorite of all is the one with the dead trees in the water, Beavercide, I think you called it. That one is otherworldly because it is so unusual. But all of them are unusually gawgeous.

    Number 1: The ability to travel to and take images in interesting environments. Seriously, most people who've made it big in photography were financially privileged to be able to do so and thus could afford to travel to places like Iceland, Africa or other unique places that allow them to take amazing images.

    Best video I've seen in quite a while, Gavin. Loved the balance between you and Amanda (she has such a delightful laugh and knows how to make REAL hot chocolate). The photography adventures were exciting ( a concession to good taste you didn't mention shrinkage when you were soaking your arse in cold water). You had excellent images with skilled processing and enough explanation of the shot without getting boring. Good job all around and I enjoyed it. Amanda lends a lot of support and color to your photography trips if in no other way than just being there. Very similar to the way my wife supports me on our bird photography trips. She takes a book to read while I'm photographing birds and I love having her there. BTW, we just celebrated our 61st wedding anniversary Christmas day. Looking forward to your next photo adventure with Amanda.
