LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
By: Fely  Sorensen

The art of photography is more than a visual art in a sense that taking images of our nature world is an internal appreciation of balance, harmony and beauty. The beauty of nature reflected in art is just another reminder of our need to protect it. Being outdoors can lift our spirits and stoke our creativity.


Landscape photography is intended to show different spaces within the world.  Photographs typically capture the presence of nature and are often free of man-made obstruction.  Landscape photography  attempts to document the space as well as convey an appreciation of the scenery.

Landscape photography is scenery, of any kind from wilderness vistas to urban city scapes - land or sea.
The primary subject is the scenery although the picture may contain other secondary elements such as people, animals or objects that are not truly part of the scenery.

A good landscape picture will have you finding interesting details in the photo. The skill is to entertain the viewer within the singular moment of the photo. Capturing the instant in time, and preserving it forever, can make it into something amazing.
