"The Traveler sees what he sees. The Tourist sees what he has come to see.” – G.K. Chesterton
Previsualization, anticipating opportunities and compositions, is critical to great landscape photography, so a photographer with local knowledge anticipates what the traveler never sees, and the tourist never imagined!
That's why I love leading workshops near my home in the Eastern Sierra: I can show people subjects and compositions that they'd otherwise never see, in the best seasonal conditions and at the right time of day for the best light.
Here are some samples of the types of things we might pursue in our workshop coming up in three weeks: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2016/05/13/sample-photos-from-the-eastern-sierra/

Finally I'm on your side of the country. I hope I'll be able to join you on one of your workshops.
+Josh Blaha That would be awesome! I've always loved your thoughtful posts on G+. Some of my permits took a long time to get this year, so I'm just starting to get word out on most of my summer/fall 2016 workshops.
+Jeff Sullivan That's great to here. I've always wanted to join you on your Death Valley workshop in December since it's usually right around my birthday. I'll be sure to get in on one of these though.
+Josh Blaha Death Valley was amazing this spring, and I'll add a workshop in December too once I get these earlier ones announced. Death Valley was one of the earlier chapters that I finished for my "Photographing California Vol. 2 – South" guidebook, but I've been continuing my research on photography sites there. I'm up to well over 150, so I'll start releasing them in the +SNAPP Guides app for smartphones and tablets. Having seen the effects of visitor traffic on sites, I'm pretty sensitive though about impacts, so the ones that make the cut may be closer to 100 or so. I've been visiting the park several times a year for 10 years, and it's big enough that I probably have another decade or more of places to explore.
+Jeff Sullivan Wow! That's incredible and exciting. I look forward to it. Being new here, I am realizing how big California is and how much there is to explore. So, even after your saying that makes me realize that I may be here a while and still never see all that lies in wait to be explored.

Just noticed the star trails are not perfectly circular
Earth is wobbling and I noticed on your page but the stars are not symmetrical
+John Doe Yes, an ultra-wide lens does produce some wide angle distortion, especially if the North star is not centered.
+John Doe The earth's rotational axis does not point perfectly towards the North Star, Polaris, so it does make a small circle (or in moderately long exposures may appear to wobble) in the sky.
