When you hear or read the term Landscape Photography, what comes to mind? Do you instantly think about beautiful sceneries around the world? Do you remember what sunrises and sunsets look like? Maybe you’re telling yourself you want to travel more often and capture more images?
Whatever the answer may be, you’ll find that there is one thing in common - adventure.
Adventure is everything when it comes to landscape photography. Think about it. Yes, you go out on location to capture something beautiful to bring home as a memory, or to print and sell, but you would never do that if you didn’t like the adventure. Going out and about is not always as easy as getting from A-Z.
Some days start dark and cold but end up rewarding with breathtaking photos. Some trails can be easy, but some are so hard that they’ll make you regret you even started, but again, the reward at the end tops the hurdles. Aside from the reward, you’ll have these amazing memories of once in a lifetime adventures that if you didn’t have the passion for landscape photography, you otherwise wouldn’t experience.
It’s easy thinking that way when writing about it, but as a landscape photographer myself, I know the feelings you may experience in the real world when you’re on a photography trip (or just a quick sunset shot.)
As photographers, we don’t REALLY get to experience and enjoy our surroundings up until we go back home, see the photos we capture, edit them and seeing them through to what we think is mesmerizing. Only then, maybe, we’ll think “wow! That was such an amazing trip!”
Why is that? Because, as photographers, we don’t take the time to experience nature. We are too focused on capturing that one perfect moment so it won’t be lost forever. Makes sense.
And that elaborated opening, is the main reason why I created Mosh Planner.
I designed Mosh Planner to help you enjoy those moments when you’re out there: one with nature. When you grab Mosh Planner out of your backpack, your fingers will travel to the most important pages I that like to call “Enjoy The Moment.” Those pages will make you write down all that you experience in a given moment. As you jot down your feelings using all five senses, you’ll actually realize how lucky you are to be where you are and slowly learn to enjoy these moments before, during, and after you capture what’s in front of you.
