sometime … it is the view make the picture …

there are some place is so beautiful , as long as you are there .. then you will be attract by the view … many places are like that and one of the most beautiful places I ever view .. “lao Zai Shan” from Yangshuo

nothing much angle can be capture if you use wide angle the view is like

or the video

兴坪老寨山

it is not a common tourist area as it need little hike .. if you know Bukit Tabur in Kuala Lumpur, it is almost same mountain but it is steep (60-80 degree average) for ~ 1 hours hike …. but it worth every single effort put in

and similar shot using my lx5

for ppl like these (hike Mount KK few times a year...) this is Sap Sap Water hike

for city girl ... — for city girl .. can see not really real tough one

simply a photo ?

many of us understand before we press the shutter , we should plan for technical/art compo, horizontal, 2/3 …. etc ….

but there is something more important for landscape photographer

UNDERSTAND the NATURE and PLAN for the shot …

for landscape lover, it is not just photography but there are more to understand/know … e.g. tide, direction, timing, weather … etc ….

if you want to be serious then start ask yourself

1. must facing east for sunrise ?

2. is good to shoot this at low tide ? or high tide ?

3. what’s the tide level at beach near by ?

4. what time moonrise/moonset/sunrise/sunset

5. are all countries having same sunrise/sunset/moonset/moonrise time ?

etc ?????

e.g. are these plan or just shot what I see while I was there ?

so do you think planning is important for a landscape photographer ?
