A recent blog post by Melvin Nicholson got me thinking about my local knowledge; even though I've been ardently visiting the local beaches around Whitsand Bay and spending many evenings on the moors around Minions I still feel like I've only just scratched the surface of the photographic opportunities on my own doorstep.

To get good at landscape photography you really do need to put in the leg-work and know where to go, and more importantly when to go there!
In addition, it's also good to remember your gear... on a recent outing I arrived at the beach to find I'd left my favourite wide-angle lens and 10-stop filter on my desk at home!
Melvin has some tips to get you planning in his latest blog post which can be found here:
