If anyone doesnt believe that the quaility of light, including sunsets, are not part of landscape photography, please check out the wonderful gallery of the late Galen Rowell

i hope no one notices :-D |
Boobs = hills. Stomach = valleys. Apple = tree. I think I could pull that one off. Might call it "Forbidden Landscape". Whatchu think? |

magnetic9999 you know that would work .....Grape Nuts spilled would make a table or floor landscape.
I guess I am really a bleeding heart liberal, BUT
I do see landscape in many thing. Even Grape Nuts ....which here are too expensive to spill on the floor.

Then I answered jimmy4 by defining what I "thought" landscape meant to me. And it does include snow, rain, or whatever happens to be going on in that area at that time. Snow shots are beautiful. Snow on a house, tree, land, stream, mountain, or whatever is a landscape. Let's be broad minded and allow each their opinion. After all it is just an opinion and not something to argue over, fight over, or get upset or sarcastic about. This is a friendly place where we can all be different. Yet we are all alike in that we love photography and that's what brings us together. Enjoy it. I do and I wish each and everyone of you the best, but more than that I pray you enjoy it and love your photos. |
The only thing that could possibly be wrong is that people are asking these questions to try to figure out what they should photograph to 'meet' the challenge. IMO, this is a bad idea. People will read some of these comments and try to tailor their photographs to meet what they read here. What is posted here is only a microscopic sample of what responses will be received.
I think everyone should simply photograph what makes them happy :) Too much emphasis is placed on doing photos of what one thinks that others will like.
I'm personally struggling with the concept of landscape photos in the dead of winter. There are plenty of dead trees and lots of brown grass around my neighborhood. I seriously doubt that I could make a landscape photo at this point in time that would make me happy.
Sunsets create an advantage in a landscape scenario, and, yes, i think a sunset is a perfectly legitimate landscape photo.
To PTL: I think you should submit some photos to some challeges one day :) |
FYI: I did, this challenge. You either haven't voted on it or didn't comment on it. But it's here.

My two cents...
It says to be creative so surely it could be a landscape of anything? The is going to be my first submission (provided I have time on the weekend to take some photo's) and I actually considered a "dirty kitchen sink" landscape.
Obviously I'm a hack (ie: opposite to expert) but I think a photo of a plate would be a portrait whilst a pile of dirty dishes spread over a bench would be a landscape.
PS: For what it's worth I changed my mind on the kitchen sink thing a while ago - my landscape will be more conventional, but not too conventional. |

| Just go out and shoot and have fun. I've been taught that a landscape is a landscape and a cityscape is a city scape. Its too bad JMsetzler can't find beauty in the dead of winter. I've been lucky as to be going to school early in the morning when the fog around and I've been taking quite alot of pictures, it even made me late one time, oh well, who needs health when your having fun taking pictures anyway? We don't get too much snow around here, but I love the snow. I look foward to this weeks challenge becuase I love landscapes so much, and like to see peoples work on here because of the broad range of talent. Peace |

someone asks for an opinion, a couple of people offer one, and then someone has to defend theirs. an opinion is an opinion, is an opinion, and here is mine --
i think a landscape can a sunset/rise in it, but if it is just a sky, I would consider it more of a "skyscape" if there is such a thing. I think it definitely needs land in it somewhere. I also think buildings, etc, are okay, though I am tempted to vote them down, because I can take pictures of vast expanses and no buildings showing and people in cities can't! Revenge for city life, muhahahahahahahah!
however, like john, i have a bunch of dead trees, dead grass, weird light that is casting weird shadows but not weird enough to be a good picture, so, alas, i am not sure what i will do.
There is some excavation with heavy equipment going on below my house. Maybe I'll take a picture of that, and call it "Land Scrape."

I am living in a country with one of the highest number of people per square mile, we don't have mountains, we don't have canyons, we live underneath the sea level, you can't walk a mile without a city or village, everything is flat and covered by snow. There are roads everywhere, and where there is no road there is a railtrack or an airport.
I am going to include my idea of a landscape for that. I didn't have much time, it was a rush to get the right light. I don't bother about perfectly meeting the challenge.
Photo's with empthy white nothingness, the local bussiest crossing, nature, the airfield, the harbour, water, buildings, people, ugly brown stuff in bad gray overcast light with snow backgrounds, etc., etc., etc. are all going to get a high vote when they are beautiful, technically good and appeal.
Don't argue, go out there, make something beautiful and make me happy!
