The Art of Seeing - Landscape Photography
Finding compositions is the primary objective when making images from the landscape. We enjoy a wide field of vision ourselves without a camera, and the view we can see is therefore quite large and potentially very complex. No image should contain elements that do not contribute to an effective design. So in the workshop we will tackle questions like, how much of a scene do you include in your image?
Below are examples of images and options we can take in our photography…
