Large Format Landscapes

[Preston]

Richard,

Well, I'm an old timer, too, and I've seen many original prints made by the people you referred to in your post, especially those made by Saint Ansel. If I recall correctly, very many of Ansel's landscape images have no 'hand-of-man' or animals or people in them. Personally, I choose to not have animals, people, or other 'hand-of-man' elements in my photographs unless those elements are integral to what I am trying to express.

I'd like to hear what others have to say in reply to your comment.

I'll definitely continue to 'enjoy the adventure'.

I wish that building didn't have a tree in front of it.

I decided to challenge myself and try doing something that I haven't tried before – photographing landscapes. This is one image of the 12 that I've processed so far that I feel is at least good enough to share. Good landscape images are not easy and I have great respect for people that make incredible landscape images. I hope to get better with practice...

Wow that's fantastic!

Was that light painted? The exposure is excellent!

I'll second that emotion ;-)
Great shot!

Thanks gents.This one is growing on me. I'll be very honest and say that the "darkroom" post process took me quite a few hours before I was happy with it. The image was busy with no real focal point so it took a fair amount of dodging/burning to get it to a place that I was happy with it.

Does "darkroom" equal PS?
