Landscape Photography

“I hope that my work will encourage self-expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.”    
                          -Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was the most famous name in landscape and nature photography.

"Landscape"- it clearly states that all the visible features of an area of land. The term "landscape" actually derives from the Dutch word “lands chap”, which originally meant “region, tract of land" but acquired the artistic connotation, picture depicting scenery on land" in the early 1500's. Going back in history, landscapes were originally used primarily to fill in the blank spaces behind a person or scene by painters, and other artists. However today, landscape photography is a very popular pursuit. According to my aspect, I believe that Landscape photography not only deal with the nature but also have a purpose. Landscape photography is not about taking yourself to beautiful locations and capturing snaps of the most attracting scenery, in fact the real skill comes from finding the beauty in everyday life. Landscape photography shows more than someone could see. Another aspect of landscape photography is to share the feelings that come with these incredible moments in time. Able to see those amazing sceneries with your naked eyes and then share those incredible snaps with others. I also believe that a good landscape picture should make a connection with the viewer and tell the story itself. A good landscape picture will help you finding interesting details in the photo for a long time after you see it.  Also believe that landscape photography does not depend on just the locations, but also depends on the right angle of light. A person might get a good landscape location but still if he does not get the photograph on the right time of the day, the image would not be the same as expected.
