What do you do when your photography day trip lands on a cloudless, full-sun day? That's what happened to me on a recent trip to Newport, Oregon with my Nikon Z8.
Harsh light, flat skies, and zero drama can feel like the worst conditions for landscape photography...but they don’t have to be. In this video, I share practical tips for making the most of a clear-sky day. These strategies will help you stay creative and inspired—no matter the weather.

I'm getting interested in the coast from Yachats to Florence. So much natural beauty down here I dont know where to start. Thanks for some inspiration
Wonderful perspective, John. I like what you say about being grateful. I experience those cloudless or sometimes flat skies when photographing in the mountains but no matter what the conditions you've got to enjoy the settings that brought you there in the first place
I, unfortunately, don't get over to the coast often and when I do, it's not usually for photography. I'd love to be able to take a day or two just for some photography over there instead of trying to just snap a few shots between whatever else we have going on.
