Sparking My Enthusiasm for Landscape Photography!

From Photography Dog to Photography God

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post called I Lost My Enthusiasm for Photography. In that post, I shared with you a video in which I talk about how I’ve struggled with my return to landscape photography after lockdown. One thing became clear from the comments and that is I’m not the only one who has struggled with their photography mojo at some point in their life.

As I had such a good response with that video, I was keen to do a follow-up video when my mojo started to return. Well, I’m very pleased to say that my enthusiasm for landscape photography is most certainly on it’ way back. In my previous video I talked about the importance of meeting up with fellow photographers and just getting out with the camera. This is exactly what I have been doing and it’s starting to pay dividends.

After two successful sunset shoots in Cornwall with one of my mates (blog posts coming soon) I was on a bit of a photographic high. I decided to keep riding that high and push to boat out for a sunrise shoot at Dawlish Warren on the south Devon coast. Would it be 3 successful shoots out of 3? Find out in the video below.

As always here are the photographs you saw in the video. Enjoy!
