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 re-posting

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 re-post 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,

Yellow meadows

Along the way, the meadows were looking pretty :-)

Temple of the Sun and the Moon

Garden with a view:

Looking pretty what? 😁

I like the top photo a lot more than the bottom. The bottom photo looks like a tight crop of the scene I'd like to see.

The composition gives a nice sense of adventure and wonder. I want to know what the view around he corner is like.

Haven't been shooting much lately. So a couple from last October and some great conditions while traveling around Mono Lake.

i really like the first with those beautiful autumn colours standing out against the fresh white snow in the background. Nicely composed!
The second is good too, but somehow the first works better for me

Another great B&W shot !

That garden view is certainly great!

Around the corner toward the Temple to the Sun is wide open rocky badlands as far as the eye can see. Nothing but brush clay and brush as far as the eye can see. Behind me is a ring of rocky hills and canyons. Temple to the Sun and Moon ( Temple to the Moon in the foreground on the left are giant sandstone and shale monoliths carved out of the clay bottom the inner costal sea connecting the Arctic sea with what is now the Gulf of Mexico that covered what is now the US from Kansas to through the great basin prior to the uplift that created the Rocky mountains. The Temple to the Moon is over 400 feet tall while the Temple to the Sun in the background is more massive.

They sit in the Northeastern corner of Capital Reef National Park in Utah.
