Week 6: Landscape Photography
After far too much rain and miserable weather, we've finally had a few nice days to work on our landscape photography assignment. I took a trip around the area to take my pictures; I was looking to find some more open areas. What I learned about Landscape Photography is that although the subject can be extremely vast and cover a great deal of area, the smallest shifts in perspective and positioning can make huge differences in the picture. I tried many different ways of shooting each area and they all came out quite different in their composition and effectiveness. These are my four favorite shots from the week:

Excellent photos! I found this week extremely frustrating as well and I absolutely agree with you about angle and perspective the slightest change can make for a very good or very bad photo! You did excellent work with creating depth
ReplyDeleteThe last of the four photos is really neat, the fact that you use the curved hills to create depth in the field is amazing, and the viewer feels like part of the scene because of it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the framing with the leaves you used in the third photo. The leaves gives it more depth draws your eyes into the lake
ReplyDeleteI really like the second photo, i like that the focus is on the wheat in the front and the mountain in the back adds depth.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job with framing with the leaves and the birch tree. I also like the brown grass as well, it adds some depth to your landscapes. You took some nice photos here!
ReplyDeleteGreat job this week your landscape shots are awesome. I also liked the wheat grass one and the river one a lot. Your so right about angle.....I also had a challenging time this week with the weather. I wanted to capture beyond the haze but most of my photos are unusable
ReplyDeleteI love your second photo. I find myself drawn, not only to the grass, but the blurred mountains in the background as well. The trees in your first and third shot were also great. It really added that extra depth to your photos.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the Camel's Hump photo! The way that it's blurred in the background as a soft subject and the wheat is highlighted perfectly. I also love how you captured the rolling hills along with the farm fields. I too tried to get that perfect shot of the hills but was unable to find the right landscape. The last photo is really unique, it think its a powerful shot. That fact that it was Independence Day, what you captured in that photo, really makes one think.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on these! All of these image have excellent dynamics. You have set up all of the shots to have something in the foreground, the middle ground, and the background. And, in each photograph you have accentuated one of those areas. Great compositions and great lighting!
