The Weekly Landscape Thread

This weekly thread, starting on a Friday, allows us to showcase our Landscape photos and get some feedback.
Opening up discussions, not only on content, style, composition & techniques, but also on the emotion in the image, and of course about the place itself.

It’s easy to participate

Post an image or short essay with a title and description. To make it easier to view in the forum, all comments should include the original title and at least one of the original images as a quote.

Thread Guidelines:

1. This thread is for sharing and developing our Landscape photography skills.
2. Entries can be a single image or a short photo essay (2 to 10 connected images that tell a story).
3. Give your entry a clear title and perhaps also explain why you took it, or the story it tells.
4. Provide constructive feedback on others’ images/essays.
   Try to go beyond simple praise or dismissal and explain why you like it, or what caught your eye.
   ”Likes” are encouraged too.
5. Negative feedback and suggestions are also OK (be polite, honest, and constructive).

Giving feedback is just as important as receiving feedback, both help to improve our artistic and technical skills.

What is a Landscape photo?

This means different things for different people. For me, it includes a wide range of photos taken outside,… from wide sweeping vistas to smaller details found along the route. Seascapes, landscapes, cityscapes, woodland shots, landscapes at night with some stars, and lots more are all OK. They could also include man-made objects and people or animals outside, but they are not usually the main subject. Show us, with your photos, what Landscape photography means to you.

Motivation

I love to go hiking in the natural world and capture photos along the way. It keeps me fit (physically and mentally) and provides some beautiful memories. Processing those images when I return is fun too, it often helps to enhance what I saw.

Downloading and reposting

It’s often challenging to verbalise comments about images. Instead, it’s sometimes easier to “show.” Unless the original poster specifically states otherwise (in each original post), participants are free to download, alter, and repost images in replies to express their analysis and critique. The reposted image may remain permanently or be removed after a short period. Downloaded and altered images shall not be used for any other purposes or uploaded elsewhere.

Enough said,… Go out, enjoy the open air, take some photos. Bring back the memories and post them here in the Weekly Landscape Thread 😊

...looking forward to seeing your images,

Patterns in Nature

Sometimes all you have to do is keep your eyes open,... and be at the right place at the right time.
Autumn colours reflected here in the lake with all the lines pointing at that one little hut.

For want of a better title.....Landscape.
The Sturt Highway. Central Australia.
Unusually green after some rain.

Nice to see some green in Australia😃
The long thing panarama format works well here for such a long straight road. It takes you straight to the vanishing point in the far distance.
I can imagine it could be used for, among other things, a thin page header in a photo book.
The clouds look pretty impressive too.

Sunup

Camped at 10,000 feet in the flattops, I had awakened early to catch breakfast. Lay the fly out on the glassy still lake, a ripple a few feet to the right. Lay it out again - and boom. With in five cast I had breakfast as the sun peaks above the far lake bank. I turn around and caught a solitary small grove of aspens being spotlighted. Didn't have long to get my camera out.

Taken with a 4x5 Zone VI field camera on TriX, developed in HC110 solution B.

A wonderful start to a great day.
