How to AVOID frustration and ENJOY photography

When we come home from a photography trip without any "keepers" it can be incredibly frustrating. But not just then... when the weather doesn't play ball, when the sunset is extinguished by a bank of cloud, when a battery runs out, when you forget a memory card, or tripod, or lens. Landscape photography sometimes seems to have it in for us.

In this video I give some advice that may seem counter intuitive, but for many people the enjoyment of the hobby is what they are in it for, and when you are relaxed and enjoying yourself it is then that you begin to produce your best work.

Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more regular content from me in the future!

Look after yourself!
