Landscape Photography

LANDSCAPE  PHOTOGRAPHY

Landscape Photography is known as art of capturing unique photographs of nature .

It is an unique art of Photography .

What makes a great landscape photo, great? Some appreciate an image for its technical prowess or adhering to certain rules.

 It might be focused correctly and sharp throughout the scene. It could be well-exposed, offering wide dynamic range. Some like to see leading lines or the rule of thirds.

Others find art—in all its forms—mystifying. The image is great because it makes us feel something. But that’s the effect of great art, not the cause.

The topic of what makes a great landscape photo is one I’ve considered for many times (and one I’m still exploring). Recently, I’ve found that there’s a broad concept that encapsulates many of the aspects of great landscape photos. 

One trait common to many compelling landscape photos is the concept of visual transitions. As with everything in art, there is no one-size-fits all approach to great landscape photograph and not should theories or techniques be too prescriptive, limiting our expression.

 But I want to explore here the concept of transitions—in their various forms—and how you might practically apply the theory next time you’re out in the field or back in your editing suite.

No doubt, when most of us think about landscape photography, we think about using wide angle lenses to capture a lot of a scene in one shot. However, long lenses can be quite useful for landscape work as well.
