I believe the best way to find it as a landscape photographer is to create it first in a studio. Yes, I did shoot in a studio for two years of my life while attending college. I was not shooting glamour models for Vogue Mag, but rather small objects and working my way up to people eventually.  This experience gave me the ability to recognize good light in the field. In fact not only was I better equipped to see the light in nature but I was able to locate it also. One of the first lessons learned was the difference between a spot light and diffused. Then later there was the scene which required both diffused light and a spot light coming from a bulb. In nature the light source is the sun, then there are clouds which diffuse it in thousands of different ways. Next there are natural subject like mountains and trees which can often give the sun light shape.
