In Land and its Light, you will embark on a journey to capture the planet's breathtaking landscapes through the unique qualities of light.
The Blue and the Golden Hours, daybreak and dusk
We begin with the serene beauty of early morning, known as the 'Blue Hour,' where the world is bathed in cool tones, and shadows are soft and subtle. The “Golden Hour” follows —that magical time when the light becomes warm and saturated with rich colour, transforming everything it touches.
And the whole process is repeated in the evening, this time reversed as night falls.
The harsh light of daylight and how to work around it.
We also deal with Day Light, the second time zone when light is a little more contrasted because the light is higher in the sky and more intense, and the shadows more harsh. We show you ways around this problem. We will look at the exceptions when clouds act as a membrane to soften the light, when mists and fog appear; how waterfalls can offer softer light; how forest canopies seem to soften the light, and how various circumstances can offer even more opportunities when most photographers are unwilling to try.
Night Light and the ways of mastering its secrets.
We will offer you many ideas of mastering photography at night. We will also introduce you to the wonders of astrophotography. You’ll learn how to track the movement of our galaxy, capturing the stars in all their glory. transforming them into flowing pieces of art that convey the essence of movement. We will also discuss cityscapes, trail lights and the potential to obtain stunning images from long exposures.
