The thing I find most challenging about landscape photography is that there is very little you can do about bad light. For portraiture, weddings and studio photography you can massage bad ambient light by adding light of your own creation, or even kill it and replace it entirely with artificial light. For landscape photography you’re at the mercy, generally, of the sun, the clouds, the time of day, and how all three interact to light the scene. You can change the time of day, but there’s still no guarantee that the other two elements will cooperate. and if you stumble across a scene that you can’t return to, you have very little flexibility, other than simply not taking the photograph. And sometimes that just goes against your instincts. So you take the shot, and worry about the light later.
