Captain Barbosa in the film Pirates Of The Carribbean said this about the pirate code of parlay:

The code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules.

That’s exactly what the “rules” of photography are. They are guidelines, helpful advice for creating and composing our photos, technical recommendations for using our cameras, and suggestions for post-processing. Learning the rules is an important part of the photographer’s journey. And so is knowing that the rules can be bent and broken.

In this episode, I talk about 5 rules of landscape photography that I think you should break. Enjoy the show!

This topic was inspired by me breaking my own glow rule for post-processing. See the full show notes on The Stop Down Photography Podcast website.
