You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

Glenn McCreery’s beautiful sunrise photo from two weeks ago [link] reminded me of how much I enjoy landscape images that have wide depth of field, and in which the foreground detail is a major player—usually accomplished with a wide-angle lens. Here’s my contribution to the genre (made using the 18 mm setting on a zoom).

Here's one I made on a recent outing to San Francisco's Ocean Beach where I purposely used a fixed, non-wide-angle lens (50mm) just to see what it might lead to. As with Leslie's, I was very taken with the foreground textures and kept the depth of field relatively wide.

We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!
