Midday Photography Light

Although midday light is typically not ideal for landscape photography, professional landscape and nature photographer Ian Plant shows you how to successfully photograph intimate landscape details during the times of the day when the light is not optimal for grander landscape scenes. Ian uses a mid-range zoom lens to photograph compositions of cracked mud in Badlands National Park.
