This is the most frequent area when I look for plain old rugged landscape comprising of loose rock-shaped mountains. The area is easily accessible, has a short drive-in, and a relaxing environment suitable to settle in at any time of the day (literally as I have ventured in during the wee early hours of the morning).
It may seem interesting and exciting at the same time to want to go to remote places, and you will be eager to jump on a vehicle and reach that spot. This may be simply because you relish the image that best reminds you of that happy place. This is good, as you as the consumer have wholly consumed the image that the photographer had planned for you. His (the photographer) goals of drawing the viewers (you) into his set of photographs have reached the achievement stage and indeed rewarded him through tons of appreciation and kind words that you may have sent him.
Is this all a plan?
Yes, it is, you may have been alarmed by the word, purely through how the photographer planned the series of enticing images. True, most photographers plan their final outcome and you must do too. There are no such things as miracle shots, a perfect moment, and lucky capture. There must all be carefully choreographed and staged to bring out the best of what the environment and the photographer’s talent have to offer. Now before you feel all scandalized and betrayed by what I have just said, please hear me out.
Why is it so important to plan beforehand?
There is too much at stake and too much at risk, the combination of organization/experience, pre-planning, and risk management contributes to a successful image. To a normal eye, the audience is taken back by the sheer luck of the photographer. Moving into experience, we all understand that the activities are essential. Most photographers often overlook the opportunity to learn the non-creative part of photography. These are essential housekeeping skills required to get a series of highly creative images. In other words, learning to get lucky.
What am I missing? Tell me why.
It is easy to just show at the spot, maybe the most difficult part is planning for the weather. But there is much more that is required to plan, I would first decide on what kind of image and subject I want to capture. It is very important to collect desired images that you envision through observed materials around you. It is best to collect materials with the intention to collect and use them. In the beginning, you will have less, but your creativity will allow you to combine two or more concepts and you will get inspired by your environment. Therefore it is imperative that you keep listening. Start listening to things happening around you and sharpen your skills to catalog and categorize. With these skills, you will be able to plan your trip more effectively and efficiently.
This is what you should do.
Take note of what is going on around you. Be present, feel the air and remember how that makes you feel. When you put a feeling in a photo so that the audience can feel the same thing. You can connect with the audience and in return makes you powerful.
