Capturing breathtaking nature photographs is not just about having the best gear — it’s about knowing how to work with natural light in all its forms. Our comprehensive video tutorial for nature photographers is designed to help you elevate your landscape photography game by teaching you how to shoot in various lighting conditions — from golden hour glows to challenging low-light settings.

Maximize Natural Light with Our Simple Workflow
In this tutorial, you’ll explore a simple workflow to make the most of natural light in landscape photography. Our practical approach helps both beginners and intermediate photographers understand the subtle differences in lighting throughout the day, empowering you to plan your shots with intention.
Sharpen Your Low-Light Photography Skills
Low-light scenes can be tricky, but they also offer an opportunity for dramatic and moody captures. You’ll learn how and where to focus in low-light conditions, ensuring your subjects stay crisp and detailed. With expert guidance, you’ll overcome common mistakes and gain confidence shooting at dawn, dusk, or during overcast weather.
Master Light Control with Filters and Diffusers
You’ll learn to control natural light in landscape photography with filters and diffusers, creating stunning effects in-camera without relying on heavy post-processing. Whether you’re reducing glare, balancing exposure, or enhancing colors, this section gives you the tools to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary compositions.
Embrace Creative Freedom in Any Lighting Condition
Photography doesn’t stop just because the lighting isn’t perfect. With our guidance, you’ll get creative with whatever light conditions nature throws at you. Learn how to adapt your techniques to capture unique and expressive images, whether you’re dealing with harsh midday sun, foggy mornings, or dramatic stormy skies.
Step-by-Step Field Lessons from Professional Photographers
There’s no better way to learn than by seeing professionals in action. Our tutorial includes step-by-step case studies where you can watch the pros at work in the field. These behind-the-scenes lessons provide a front-row seat to real-world shooting scenarios, allowing you to understand not just what to do, but why and how to do it.
Straightforward Lessons for All Skill Levels

Our non-technical landscape photography lessons are clear, approachable, and designed for photographers who want results without the jargon. You’ll learn how to capture stunning landscape photos in a variety of lighting conditions with easy-to-follow demonstrations and practical tips.

By mastering the art of working with natural light, you’ll unlock new levels of creativity and storytelling in your photography.

Excellent Class for a New Student

The Creative Sharpening Class by Jay Patel enlightened me as to the different approaches to sharpening various aspects of a landscape scene. It would be an excellent class for a new student of Lightroom as well as someone experienced who can be reminded by the very good illustrations of the various tools and the interactive potential of these tools in Lightroom. I went back over part of this tutorial several time. It is excellent.
