There are some types of landscape photographers I can’t stand. While it is easy to point out other’s flaws, it is not so easy to remember that when you point at someone else you have three fingers pointing back at yourself. So, while I am going to tell you about 5 types of photographers or traits that are less than desirable (according to myself) I am also keenly aware that I have been guilty of these at one point or another as well!

I don’t agree with buying 3rd party lenses, batteries, or memory cards if they don’t offer a similar or better performance to reputable brands.

So, I have compiled a list of ‘better’ ideas for saving money as a landscape photographer.

It is filled with great people that are very passionate about art, helping others, and helping to expand it to more and more people. However, no matter how many good photographers there are that are out there, a few bad apples spoil the barrel.

While I enjoy these moments of solitude, it is not what photography is all about and there is more to be had with the photography community!
Read MoreWhile practicing photography is a great activity and I find pleasure in it most of the time I am not able to do it all the time and that is ok. I have a day job which means I am not able to go out and do landscape photography whenever I want. The good part of this is that even if I had all of the time in the world, I wouldn’t be able to do landscape photography all of the time because it takes a mindset to be quality photography.

You are trying to say something as a compliment and the first thing you could come up with was to focus on the thing we need in order to create the images. The issue is that it comes off as off-putting and misses the point of complimenting the work in the first place!
