A landscape is a section or portion of scenery as
seen from a single viewpoint. Scenery is the subject of a landscape
image. Typically,
people and animals are not shown in a landscape, unless they are
relatively small in the image and have been included in the composition
to show scale. Some photographers argue that the sea coast, the
city and man-made structures in general should not be included
in a landscape, and images that do contain them are more accurately
called seascapes or cityscapes. From a purist perspective, they
are probably correct, since a landscape is a picture of the land
and its aggregate natural features. However, if natural scenery
dominates an image, it can probably be accurately termed a landscape,
even though there may be a farmhouse in the distance, a city skyline
on the horizon or a road or path in the foreground.
Great landscape photography is everywhere. Let's face it, when you're
away on vacation, what captures your eye? Yup, it's the view. That's
why you go to the destinations you choose.
So you take a camera, run off a few shots and take the pictures home to show
everybody how fabulous the place. |
