Landscape photography bias in LF?

[butterflydream]

I had a prejudice that LF is grandfather's camera to take calendar (landscape) photographs. Now I find myself saying to myself, "so what's wrong with that?".

I don't know if it is still done, but there was a time when Playboy shot all their centerfolds on 8x10, to the tune of hundreds of sheets of color film each time.

Forget about it, that was a million years ago...

I was attracted to LF because of its' utility in landscape photography. My second favorite photographic discipline is candid/environmental portraiture - view cameras are comparatively clumsy for this application.

It is all MF digital now.

[QUOTE=cyrus;347877]Would you agree that there is a greater tendency in LF photographers to be landscape photographers QUOTE]

Yes thats a definate truth. I kind of find the whole landscape thing done to death, no offence to anyone but a lot of those zone landscapes start to look the same after a while. I think also for many part time photographers its easier to go out in the car and photograph a landscape than it is to do other types of photography that require more interaction with other people/time etc (nudes portraits).

My little rant on this subject a while back on my blog.
