“I pre-plan and pre-visualize the scene I intend to shoot. Which direction will the sun or moon be in? What’s the weather forecast like? If it’s a seascape, when is it low or high tide?”

“I also prefer to go really low in terms of compositions - it's a whole different world down there, and the angles and perspectives you can get are often very cool. Move around and get a feel of the location, look for different angles, and be sure to change your focal length.”

“I also focus stack my images if I'm shooting a scene with a huge dynamic range, which most of my images often have since I prefer to shoot really low. I use a Nikon D810, 14-24mm f/2.8 and a Really Right Stuff TVC-34L tripod, which allows me to position the camera right above the ground - and start manually focus stacking the scene.”

“For seascapes (which I shoot quite often), I often look for rocky parts where I can see the water is flowing over, and I choose a shutterspeed at about 1/8th to really capture the motion of the receding water. Try it ...but don't forget to get insurance and waders!”
