How I Take Landscape Photos on a Beautiful Island (And Find Something Incredible!)

In this week's photography tutorial I head to the stunning Holy Island of Lindisfarne in the UK for landscape, seascape and sunset photos. But I was in for a huge surprise when I found something wild that interrupted my photography.

I give my best tips and tricks for landscape photography, including improving my composition with better foreground interest, how I use light and colours and how I use circular polarizers for better skies.

Spoiler alert: It was a seal pup that I found on the harbour. I kept nearby (but not too close) to keep an eye on it and tried to get in touch with various local animal charities who may be able to advise on whether it needed help. And while I wasn't sure whether it was injured or not, it eventually made its way back into the water. I don't know whether this was definitely the right thing to do -- we were concerned it may have had an injured front flipper and that maybe it required care before being released back into the water -- but in the end the seal made the decision for us and we thought it best to just let it do its thing.

You can read more on what to do if you find stranded wildlife on the RSPCA, or whatever local animal charities in your region. However general advice is that unless an animal looks injured or harmed in some way, leave it alone.
