The Landscape Photographer's Field Guide

Most of us come home from a hike with a hundred photos and keep them all because deleting takes time.

This guide contains four cheat sheets I put together from years of mistakes in the field — what to sort out before you leave the trailhead, how to name your subject before you raise the camera, composition that actually helps, and how to plan for the light. Built around my mentor Frank Lee Ruggles' mantra: know yourself, know the trail, know your gear, know the deal.

The best part; it works with any camera, including the one in your pocket.

Until next time. I'll see you on the trail.
