Assignment #11

Landscapes

In this assignment you are going to compose some land scape photos. Consider some of the options you learned in your composition assignment. High and low horizon lines, framing and the use of depth of field. Landscapes should not include a major subject ie. a person or animal in the photo. Also it is a good idea to consider the effects lighting has on your image. This time of year there are some excellent atmospheric conditions due to the cold weather that produce some fantastic cool colours especially in the morning when the sun begins to rise. Different perspectives also add interest. But most of all try and find interesting places that have unique qualities. Good luck on this project and have fun!

Take 10 different types of landscape photos. Choose different locations, and different lighting conditions.
