    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. 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,

    Spring is on the way

    Here a comparison of a local mountain lake (Lake Laudachsee) from 3 weeks ago and what it will (probably) look like in 3 weeks’ time
    The life buoy and ladder are there for safety, of course. The ladder can help you save someone that has broken through ice.

    Suwannee River Delta

    I found this woman busy at work in the lower Suwannee wildlife conservation area when the tidal flow was at low tide. This is a fairly unique tropical landscape. What was she doing. It seems the Fiddler crabs come out eat, mate and fight during low tide and this is the height of mating season. She had some great shots of these battles.

    I was not able to get out much this week, but here's one shot that I did manage to take... still fiddling with the old 70-200 VR1 and finding that I like the output. This view is looking southwest toward Vashon (Maury) Island. The three towers are transmitters for KING radio.

    Very interesting! I see a few people, but not many. What is beyond the hedge behind the dinosaurs? A parking lot? Again, very interesting and really nice IQ. At ~35mm FL, I'm guessing maybe 2 or 3 frames stitched?

    An action shot!
    I can remember finding some smallish crabs like that once, but I didn't have a telephoto lens with me and walking closer on the muddy area wasn't an option.
    So I wasn't as well equipped as this lucky lady and my shots were a bit crabby ;-)

    I like the way you've used the light on the mountains here. The shadows pick out the texture and show us the 3D shape and form of the formations.

    Nice shot !
    The little tug boat makes for a good subject in that choppy sea .
    I saw the 3 high and thin towers in the Hi-res image, but never heard of King Radio, I guess it must be a local one ?

    Wow, so many huge dinosaurs, love 'em.
    That garden is meticulously trimmed & cultivated. I bet it's nice to walk through, probably better when it's not quite so hot.

    The light was really nice. I wish for more light like that. The Eastern Sierra's often deliver when I visit.
