I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued.
When the light is right and everything is working for me, I feel as tense as when making a difficult maneuver high on a mountain. A minute - and sometimes mere seconds - can make the difference between a superb image and a mundane one.
Today, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions.
We mountaineers always live with the feeling that we came on the scene too late.
If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.
