Nice shot Steve. I'm getting pretty excited. Heading to a new place in 2 hours that I've never been. Gonna have 2-3 hours to shoot all by my lonesome. I think we're gonna get a partly cloudy sky.

Ahhh, the stuff dreams are made of. Then I can talk trash to YOU rather than the other way around...

I'm jealous of you already!

I shot a bunch of landscapes today but I'd rather just have a ticket to Iceland and shoot there!! :~p

Ya know, I HATE when she does this to me, but Jutilda influenced me to take some 'portrait' landscapes yesterday late... Here is one I WON'T enter.



It wouldn't pass the "Its not a REAL landscape" criteria anyway. LOL!!!

For sure: it is a too nice shot to be "real", Steve.
But actually it would be DQ - it has a text on it... lol.

Can I go???

So, are there any parameters for "portrait"? Can it be multiple people or a full body shot?
10/29/2006 04:18:42 AM · #56
I say yes. Sometimes with multiples, it can get the "snapshot" sense, but a portrait of a family, or more than one person can do well if done artfully. As far as parameters, I think if it looks like a rectangle, and is considerably wider than tall, you're ok.

you can all put your cameras away and unsubmit your photos for the landscape in portrait because this week is my turn at the top.

I'd love to join the trash talk, but I need Canon to return my freaking camera first. =) Oh well, I'm excited to see all your entries!

I was thinking about entering this photo into the landscape challenge but this thread has definitely scared me away from that, and now i'm worried about the portrait i am submitting because the subject isn't holding a knife in her hand...oh the pains of dpc. anyway this isn't a landscape really anyway but I thought I'd share.



It reminds me of a natural kaleidoscope

All right, DrAchoo, what about this super secret new photography site you visited? You work in Photoshop all weekend? LOL!

Like this image... great balance and detail and it makes a nice toned shot. Of course there are those that would say since there is no ground that it could not be a 'Land'scape. Reminds me of a semi-similar sot I had in the "in the garden" challenge. It got nixed to but still did fine.

Given that... go ahead, submit it.. It should be a top finisher...

Oh, wait, wait... you already showed it to us. Dang! Can't submit now. That would be wrong. You'd be accused of cheating. Cheater! Cheater! Cheater!! Too bad, it was a sure fire blue winner. Oh, well, back to the ol' drawing board. LOL! LOL!

.

Does an image of landscape imply a wide angle and distance? Would a closer and tighter shot be considered landscape if it contained about land? (e.g. tight shot of a hillside, tight shot of trees, tight shot of a lake shore [like the wave line along the shore], tight shot of a sand dune, etc.)?

As a voter, would you be turned off by a tighter/closer shot?

Just curious.

Edit: I know the landscape image has to be displayed in portrait orientation but does that still imply a wide angle?
