We have all read the web sites that tell us to use certain techniques to boost our landscape photography portfolio and seascape photography skills, or to post process our footage in a special way and just about all these suggestions are highly valid ones but when you understand the basics there is one very quick and easy way to enhance your photography portfolio and that is to head outside and just start taking photos to begin.

Sounds too simple? Well it’s true, there’s nothing like practise and heaps of it to quickly boost and enhance your talents. The other idea behind this concept is that the more you are out shooting the bigger chance you have of capturing that ‘magic’ light that no one else has managed to capture before. We have all heard the term that practise makes perfect and while I am not making claims to be perfect I have definitely revealed that the more I’m outside shooting the more I am contemplating shooting and the better I get.

When I initially began out I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t capturing any decent landscape footage in six months I’d managed to capture perhaps 3 sellable photos. Finally it dawned on me after speaking to some pros that I just wasn’t getting out there enough firstly to boost my skills and secondly to improve my probabilities at capturing a great photo.

I quickly learnt I had to be more obsessive about there photography portfolio getting out there so I went from taking footage once every two to three weeks to living and respiring landscape photography and spending up to 10hrs a week taking footage. An extraordinary thing occurred my photography improved out of site and my portfolio expanded intensely quickly to the point that I had a collection of photos that I was extremely proud of.
