Landscape

 

 

Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes.

The Seven Sisters by Adam Burton-This photograph caught my eye as it had beautiful colours that captured my eyes straightaway. It draws your straight to the sky line where the seven trees (or sisters) are sitting on the hills, as you see the stunning sunset, going to twilight. Your eyes then travel to the top of the photography which includes the leaves of a tree that are a silhouette. It gives you the feeling that the photography may have be sitting under the tree waiting for the perfect light to get that exact picture. The photograph makes you think it gives a soothing, clam and subdue feel. Feeling that you are at one with the world. The composition of the photography is very clever as the trees aren’t spot-bang in the middle of the picture; they are to the left of the frame using the rule of thirds. It is in a way framed with the tops of the trees.

This is my response of the landscape photo The Seven Sisters by Adam Burton. I like the composition of The Seven Sisters, but unfortunately I couldn’t find the right location that offered a great view. I found it hard to find a spot where the tree was low enough to get tops of the leaves in the frame but you could also see the spectacular view. I decided that I liked the fact that the photography had the leaves in frame so I concentrated on that aspect of the photo the most. I eventually found a tree that was low enough for me to get the leaves in. I thought that I could have got higher up to get the leaves in if I were to use a ladder, and thought if I came back at sunset or twilight I the picture would have a different feel/ mood to it.
