The beautiful Mount Saint-Michel in Normandy has been photographed to death. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make your own image there, your own take on an iconic location.

I don't know if this one is original or not, but I love the way the fog was lying low showing only the higher parts of the castle, along with a pretty much clear sky.

This was one of the very few images I made that morning, I tried to enjoy the sunrise instead.

While exploring is a big part of landscape photography, there's nothing wrong with trying to optimize the time you spend outside.

In this video, I give you a glimpse of how I plan my shots by showing how I planned this image at Mount Saint-Michel. I did not get the shot due to bad weather, but I was very, very close.

Sometimes, you just need to leave the camera behind and enjoy the moment.
