  • Landscape photography can be a challenge when the photographer feels uninspired. This is how I was starting to feel as autumn slowly decayed in to winter and the rain never seemed to stop. In this video I manage to escape the UK and enjoy some landscape photography on the island of Lanzarote.

    All Points Bulletin: Be on lookout for “escaped “ British photographer. May be in the remote island areas off the west coast of Africa. Can be distinguished from other photographers by the ability to take mundane and stark landscapes and turn them into jaw-dropping images. Approach with caution as is sometimes excitable

    "Just grab your camera and go... anything can happen" is about the best advice I have ever heard. It has worked out SO well for me... many of my favourite pictures were taken when I least expect them to show up. When you're just sitting there on your hands watching some UA-cam channel (Not this one!) grab your camera and just find a place to go. Google parks or flower gardens, just SOMETHING to take a chance on getting a great image. Screw the weather, it COULD work in your favour!!! Thanks for that advice Thomas!!!

Great if you’re short on time and want to maximise your opportunity.

    I visited Lanzarote in Februrary - it was one of my dreams actually because it's gives that "another planet" feeling :) Well, I was lucky and unlucky, because there was a sandstorm (in Morocco to be more precise, and all these sand arrived to Lanzarote) and whole sky was orange, so it really, really felt like being on Mars, but at the same time the air was very dense, I couldn't shot the landscape almost at all due to very limited visibility. Actually it was supposed to be my first photo-trip only, having all spots selected, know where should i be during sunries, where during sunset. I prepared the best I could and ... it all failed haha ;) Fortunately 2-3 days later, the visibility improved a bit ;) Love the video :)
