Even when I’m bogged down in commercial work and drowning in terabytes of unedited footage, I always seem to feel the pull of the natural world calling me to ditch the computer and get shooting.  I think a big reason for this is that I’ve always found landscape photography incredibly relaxing; almost meditative. You’ll often see me down at the river, headphones in, remote in hand, soaking in 10 minutes of serenity while my camera does the same.

You know what’s not relaxing?  Dropping your $500 filter kit into a waterfall.
