LT 1.1 Landscape Photography
For this assignment, you must make and edit several landscape photographs at a location of your choice. If you cannot travel to a suitable landscape location, a local park will do just fine. Plan your outing carefully, as you’ll be outdoors, and the weather or seasonal conditions will affect your shoot.
Use the unique characteristics of low light (early or late in the day) to make landscape photographs with drama and impact. These are the photographs you’ll need to make:
- A traditional landscape;
- A creative landscape;
- An intimate landscape.
Consider more than one alternative of each. Look at these examples for inspiration:
Do:
- Use a low ISO setting;
- Use a small aperture;
- Use a tripod and your self-timer or a remote/trigger;
- Watch your focus, and use manual focus if needed.
Don’t:
- Have too many preconceived ideas and be adaptable to the situation;
- Leave your VR/IS switched on if you are shooting from a tripod.
