Thinking Artistically

• Composition very important
• you must pay attention when positioning camera even
• Value is very important in black and white landscapes
• always have a mood in mind and adjust to that mood
• a good goal to achieve is a balance between unity and variety
• extreme unity is with all parts of photo relate to each other
• variety is the exact opposite where nothing relates but it make a very nice picture
• unity= peaceful
• Variety = energy

Camera Settings

• 1st stop down the lens all the way
• 2nd choose small f stop
• tripod is necessary for sharp image

Light

• golden time for shooting landscapes before sunset and after sun rise
• the color of light is warm and gold
• best to l with direct light from distance

 
Film

• Landscape photos need to record as much as possible
• use100 ISO with  35mm camera to capture all the detail
• Black and white is Th choice for landscape photography

Lens

• wide angle lens are preferred
• for shooting mountains some photographers use  telephoto lens
• Macro lenses are also used for really close photos

Filters

• Very important part of landscape photo's
• yellow filter to bring out clouds
• also pairing these filters together gives even better effects to photo

Camera Support

• when you combine slow films and Small f - stops you get  slow shutter
• you will need  tripod to support camera to get sharp image

The Grand Landscape

• "Big View: for photo's taken out side
• You can take a ordinary house and by knowing how to take it the right way you make it as interesting as the grand Canyon
• Wide Angle lens extremely helpful
• use the 3rds rule when dealing with horizons
• Photo shop can always give you that extra push to bring you photo from good to great

Landscape Details and close - ups

• Parks are good for details
• Japanese gardens are also very good because they have tones of details from interestingly placed rocks to miniature water falls.
• bright sunny Day best for these photos
• the value in  picture Can be more important than an camera can capture
• right before sun rise or after sunset is best because it eliminates shadows
• John Sexton calls it the "quite light"\
• light meters make n exposure to take the middle grays out of the photo graph
• light photos = slow shutter speed
• dark photo's = fast shutter speed

Abstracted Element in the Landscape

• abstract photo's contain line,shape, value and texture
• tree bark is a perfect example
• you must get really close to  Small part of your subject to make it abstract
• telephoto or micro lens would work well for getting up close

Carr Clifton

Carr was born in California. He attended a collage in California were he received a degree in Commercial Photography. This was funny because he became famous for his landscape photographs. He is also know for going farther than anyone else has gone before with taking photographs. He photographs have appeared in many places books, and museums. more than likely you have seen his photographs and not known it was his.



This picture is very beautiful in my opinion. I like how the river draws your eye all the way back to the tree and then to the moutians then into the sunset. The river gives it line.

Architecture and Urban Landscapes

There are three types of taking pictures of architecture interior view , detail and the big view.

• Interior view - taking a picture of a room
• Detail- taking a picture of carvings on a fire place
• The Big Picture - taking a picture of the whole body

• Indirect Portrait- it is a portrait of the people that live in that town

Thinking artistically- it is something that is a creative way of taking  picture of  architecture.
Camera setting - it can bring details out in the photo details you would not normally see.
Film  - black and white for shape and emphasis 
         -color to bring out scenre  
Lighting - brings different colors out witch draws the eye to those spots
The Big View - use wide angle, to get the whole subject
Shadows - can give a building new and interesting detail
detail shot - so you can really focus in on nice details (crown molding)
Interior views- give a feeling of thee whole room
