I was getting my daughter out of the car when we got home from her swimming lessons when i looked up and the image punched me in the face and all i thought while looking at it was 'yes.'
My wife didn't think this would be a good shot because of the road; but the link asked us what is "natural"? With man's indutrialization this is natural. This is a natural landscape at least, it wasn't dark out when i took this shot i was playing with the apature and shutter speeds at the time.
The subject of the pictures (landscapes) in theory in easy, just take a picture of non moving scenery. The problem with a landscape picture is the photographer (What angle? Is this good lighting?, Is this really a good picture? ect.) For landscapes, you are your own worst enemy.
In the picture of the road, there is an interesting curve to the treetops, giving us just a little taste of sky. It makes for a pretty cool effect. The color of the sky is very pretty in the last photo, and the swirling clouds make the picture more whimsical.
ReplyDeleteI love the second picture, I like that it looks like it is dusk out.
ReplyDeleteI like the third photo, it's a very pretty view.
ReplyDeleteThe first three photographs have excellent compositions. The fourth photo appears as though it was taken out of a car window while driving down the highway. While there is nothing wrong with taking Highway photos, when you don't spend a lot of time with your subject, it tends to feel flat. The one thing that is consistent across all of them is that you may want to start practicing with the settings on the camera to get to the optimal light settings. the first one is washed out and the second one is too dark. The third one has good light dynamics but there is glare from the inside of the window, which washes out the color in the upper area of the photograph.
