Photography Pressure Part Two | Looking for Detailed Landscape Photography Compositions

The second part of a vlog entry about the pressure I am feeling to get perfect photographic conditions. While recording this film I didn’t realise it would be as long as it was and I ended up splitting into 2 parts while editing.

In the first part (you can watch that here:    • Feeling Burnt Out and Under Pressure for P...   ) I was discussing how I have been feeling a bit under pressure with photography, always feeling like I am missing the best conditions and a little burnt out trying to do photography. The solution that I found was just to slow down, and enjoy being outside in nature. To ease the pressure and not worry if I don’t take any images or if I take an image and later find that I don’t like it. These things happen when working as a photographer.

After talking through these feelings and ideas, I decided to wander along the edge of a loch in the Cairngorms National Park. Hoping that some inspiration would come as I walked, explored and let my pressures wash away.

As luck would have it, a couple of ideas came to mind and I tried to take some images. The weather conditions were awful, drizzly, grey and midge ridden. So large vistas or grand views were not going to happen. Instead I started to look for the intimate details within the landscape.

But again my luck would turn and on the way back, I managed to get a reflection shot of the landscape beyond. And my favourite images of the morning happened after I stopped recording, you can still see them in the video though!

Don’t forget, if you want to check out the images from this morning, then you can see them here: https://drl.one/itf13
