Landscapes

This week we talked about landscape photography one question that came up is what is the definition of landscape photography? According to Wikipedia the definition is "a genre intended to show different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic." That covers a broad range of photography. Typically, landscapes don't focus on human subjects, although as I showed you in the classroom, limited human activity can enhance a landscape photograph. So there is no real definition of landscape photography. Popular "landscape" photos include mountains, lakes, waterfalls and even industrial sites. In any case, your landscape photograph should capture the beauty or unique character of an rural or even urban area. Good luck. The PowerPoint for this week's class is posted below
