When taking photographs, the beauty seen with the naked eye does not always translate into the perfect photograph. As you stare at the mountains, sometimes you see a different view than you can capture in a single photo.
The real trick with Landscape photography is sharing the beauty you see with the viewer by choosing the perfect angle for a shot.
When photographing Landscapes it's also important to look for patterns, and than find abnormalities in the patterns that hold your attention, by doing this, you're forced to look at things in a different manner.
This week I took advantage to my trip to New Hampshire to capture some pictures of the White Mountains, as well as capture some other landscape shots during my Vermont travels. Although we were told to post 4 of our favorite photos, I had trouble picking just four.

Great shots I like that you captured several different landscapes, as well as the different feel they all have. Nice job this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda!
DeleteI really enjoyed your pictures of Franconia Notch. The angles and lines in the first shot are really interesting and not something you see all the time. The other Notch photo gives the cliffs so much depth. It looks like they could stretch into the sky. I really like the perspective of the cliff shot.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs just got better and better towards the end.
ReplyDeleteWhen photographing an area that is very busy as in the driftwood on the Lamoille River, it's best to focus in on just a few objects. Either frame out a few objects by getting close or, get low and use your depth of field to choose the objects you want to highlight. If everything is in focus then it sort of flattens out the image.
The Franconia Notch photos are awesome. You really have divided up the picture plane well with a good balance of light and dark, sky and ground.
The last image is my favorite. I am attracted to architectural elements because they can help you create really strong compositions. And because it is a familiar item, a house, then everyone can relate to it and imagine some kind of story that goes along with it.
Get closer, and keep taking wonderful photos.
