I n landscape photography, images are often divided into two equally important parts – the sky and the land. While we all know that shooting around sunrise and sunset has the greatest chance of experiencing the most dramatic and interesting light and sky, shooting at these times isn’t always possible for several reasons. This certainly doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t shoot at other times of the day – you should take photos whenever you see something that interests you, even if the light and sky aren’t perfect.
