Chapter 9

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
