In the below video though, photographer Tom Mackie of Landscape Photography iQ weighs in on this popular topic and discusses which he prefers and why. He then shares his sunrise landscape photography tips on how to shoot stunning sunrise images.

Mackie also discusses techniques for sunset landscape photography and how he has been able to capture a wide range of dramatic shots using different camera settings and preparation.
