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,

One year ago today

Here’s another photo from the same place that I posted last week. But this time it is a full colour photo 😉
Taken at the beginning of the trail up to that rocky outcrop where we found the “Gams” two weeks ago.
This shot was taken almost one year ago today and you can see our snow shoe trail in the winter wonderland.
Stegmoosalm, Austria.

M25. I revisited an old one, processed, cropped differently.

A single ski track into untracked powder provides an amazing leading line through the image. Really nice tonality.

Sunrise to the East - Storm Clouds to the West

You've made a noisy motorway look really good in this shot. With all the lights from the fast moving cars, it's positively glowing compared to that darker landscape it runs through. And of course that snakey "S" shape works well to guide us into the background and give a great feeling of depth

I think I've seen this beach from you before. Another good shot here!
A good play of light on that dark receeding water contrasted nicely with the bright white waves.

I walked about a mile on the beach. The previous one I posted was about 1/4 mile down.

A few from recent outings. C&C welcome.

Saturday morning sunrise at the beach

All lovely but this one particularly. The whisps of mist are very special - give an other-worldly feel.

Here is another one of my seascapes. This is Petrel Cove on the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia.
