E-Books : Amateur Photographer - Shot at down ( June 2016 Edition )

There are three qualities you need to be a great landscape photographer, in addition to the obvious technical and artistic skills. The fi rst is patience: the disposition to be able to wait for long periods, usually with no internet, while the light ponders whether or not to play ball. Second (for UK photographers, at any rate) is an ambivalence to being cold and possibly even wet. Finally, a willingness to get up in the middle of the night to be at a location in time to catch the best light – which, inconveniently, is around sunrise. I don’t possess any of these qualities in great abundance, which is why I’m better at enjoying landscape photographs than taking them. Anita Nicholson gets round the third problem by camping out overnight, and you can see how well this pays off by enjoying her amazing work on pages 10-15. Nigel Atherton, Edito.
