i do have a problem with landscape photography as i know how much time is spent by photographers who do it professionally. how much of it is a waiting game for all conditions to align. (or now just use AI to replace it all 😂 )
This evening clouds and sun did that and i must say i was pretty happy with it while taking it. That strip of clear sky did a good job to add to it.
Only thing i missed is taking the tripod with me for few of those shots taken later. reflections on the water were painting like.
Yes I know what you mean. I am myself very far from the level (and the patience) of a pro landscape photographer but I still enjoy talking a good one once in a while :)
