Description

Including man-made objects in our landscape photographs is sometimes quite challenging! I personally find it to be one of the hardest things to do well in this genre of photography; however, today's guest on my podcast, Michael Blanchette, has mastered it. 
On this week's episode, we discuss:
How Michael transitioned from his career in software engineering to landscape photography.
Michael's proclivity for including "the hand of man" in his landscape photographs.
Michael's approach for including man-made objects in his photographs.
What Michael loves most about landscape photography.
Michael's approaches to planning his photography shoots.
The tools that Michael uses to maximize his success as a photographer.
The pros and cons of social media and how it has changed over the years for Michael.
Michael's thoughts on compositing.
And a lot more!
