    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,

    The Autumn colours at Pronebenalm, Austria

    I'm heading back to this area this afternoon, hoping to capture something reminiscent of this old photo from my archives.
    It was taken three weeks—and eight years—ago! So there's a chance I've already missed the peak of the autumn colors… or maybe I haven't.
    We'll find out soon enough :-)
    Whatever the season and the weather, it feels good to be going back for a hike in the Alps again.

    Where are my walking boots?
    ... The image makes me want to get out there at this time of year in countryside like that.

    Beautiful colours!

    A beautiful clear blue sea, you can see all the stones under the surface near the edge.
    I like the way that the boat, in the middle, seems to be coming straight in to, maybe, tie up at that dock and explore the land. A story here ?
    All those little rocky islands look quite natural and certainly give lots of opportunites for lovely compositions.
    How warm is that water at this time of year ?

    Yes, that boat came and docked. It then started up a music machine and blasted 'boom boom' music over the bay until some told them to shut up!!

    Water was plenty warm enough to swim in.

    Views from an autumn walk
    I haven't been doing a lot of landscape photography recently, but here's a smattering of pictures I took with my phone during a recent very lovely walk. The colours were really incredible. I did want to bring my camera, but sadly I forgot, so my phone it was.
    (Plus the leaf ring I made. It's quite incredible, that all of those are from the same tree)
