Landscapes Photography

Test

Landscapes Photography is certainly something everybody with a digital camera is interested in, the proof being over 41 million search returns on Google with some absolutely awesome landscape photos and luscious landscapes by amateurs and professional photographers alike, both in black and white and in color.

Nature Photography

Interestingly, “Landscapes Photography” beats “Nature Photography” by about 10 million search entries, who would have thought so?

Which shows that one would never know without looking it up – which is a basic rule and revelatory lesson when it comes to anything we do, research or get involved with on the Internet, big or small. In fact, it should be a natural reflex… and it will be in the near future.

Landscapes Photography and Web Design

Landscapes Photography is a phenomenal if not THE source of inspiration when it comes to Web Design and, of course, Graphic Design.

For the purpose of this post and as you may have seen on many of my articles, I often base my Web Graphics on my own pictures and photos taken with my digital camera and post-edited in Photoshop – however not always. I always attempt to make pictures that need no additional editing, although there are also the quick snapshots with a clear purpose – for instance a fascinating pattern that I can transform into a texture for a background.

I encourage all web designers to improve this skill of self expression as not only is it rewarding on a personal level, it enhances your websites and blogs dramatically… which is important if not essential in a virtual world that feeds on images.

Landscapes Closeups

“Landscapes Closeups” sounds like a contradiction in itself, however, I love the magic of the delicate, secret and almost invisible worlds within the world.

Like in my example here, it’s sometimes a tiny detail that attracts me and – once enlarged on my screen – I discover a magic and drama I was totally unaware of when taking the picture… although I wonder what attracted me in the first place? But that may be an idea for another post. . .

From a technical viewpoint and without going into the many lenses and zooms for which there are great professional tutorials, I prefer to frame my picture as close as possible, meaning also to have the parts nearest to the camera in focus and let the background and parts furthest from the camera go out of focus . . . the famous ‘blur’ effect.

Happy Photoshooting!
