Deception # 3 - A beautiful landscape is shot only at sunrise or sunset.
Yes, everyone has heard about the famous Golden Hour around sunrise and sunset, when the light was magical and warm, the shadows long and soft, how much the landscape and so on, etc. I'm not saying this is not the case. You just do not have to shoot at that time. Landscapes can be taken at any time of the day - sunrise, afternoon, afternoon, sunset and even at night. Personally, I adore on some gloomy rainy day to get stuck in the woods to shoot autumn colors or waterfalls. At this time, you can shoot all day without the light changing significantly and you have plenty of time to think over your compositions and settings. If there is a fog even better.
Here is a wonderful example of what you can create in the middle of a gloomy cloudy day!
At night, you can shoot in the moonlight or wait for a new moon to shoot the Milky Way. You will say yes, but you can not make a good landscape at noon in the hottest sun. Are you sure? And do you know that those magical photos from the Canyon of the Antelope in the US are all made at noon when the sun is brightest to penetrate to the deepest corners of the canyon and to paint its walls in incredible colors.
Tip: Yes, usually at sunrise or sunset is the best time to shoot landscapes. But they are far from obligatory to make beautiful pictures. Keep an eye on how the colors and scenery of the landscape change over the various hours of the day and in different weather conditions. Watch also beautiful landscapes of famous photographers and you are interested in when and under what conditions. Sometimes a grim landscape can be just as influential as the most colorful sunrise! And even if the sun shines ruthlessly over the landscape, you can still figure out how to turn it into a plus.
Who said that waterfalls can not shoot at noon in the summer under the hot sun? If it was not the sun, the thousands of water splashes would not be able to see in the picture, giving the atmosphere of the frame and recreating the real setting in the narrow gully under the raging waterfall.
