Lens-Artists Challenge #373: Looking Back – Landscapes

Egidio is looking back to Amy’s Challenge #31 from February 2, 2019: Landscape. Amy had beautiful landscapes to be inspired by as does Egídio in his post.

Six images are requested by Egídio. Landscape is one of the most frequent topics I photograph. It can be autumn with all its glory, a sea view – nothing beats a beautiful ocean in its vastness. Or mountains. The possibilities are endless. Limiting the number of them to six is a challenge.

The four pillars of landscape photography really play a vital role in helping you capture those breathtaking moments. First, there’s Location, which is about finding that perfect setting that speaks to you; then, Composition, which guides you in how to arrange everything thoughtfully; Light, so essential for creating the right mood and highlighting beautiful textures; and finally, Processing, where you can refine and enhance your image to reflect your vision.

With those guidelines in mind, here are my picks.

A breathtaking landscape view from Blue Mountains in Australia, the lush green mountains under a dramatic sky, with wildflowers in the foreground.
A autumn landscape featuring vibrant orange and yellow trees reflecting in a tranquil lake Kukkanen in Lahti, Finland.
A scenic landscape featuring grazing goats amidst rocky terrain in Crete, with lush greenery and distant hills.
A landscape rolling green hills and scattered trees under a cloudy sky, exemplifying the beauty of nature photography. This is at Korkee, Finland, a place I photograph every year.
A winter landscape, frosted trees and a snow-covered field, embodying the beauty of nature in cold seasons in Finland.
A striking desert landscape from Las Vegas, Nevada, a cholla cactus against a backdrop of distant mountains.

Last week’s challenge for Tina was titled Ephemeral. I appreciate everyone who took part; your responses were fantastic and I really enjoyed all the imaginative images of things that exist for just a brief moment.

I hope you will join in for this week’s challenge. Be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists tag and include a link back to Egidio’s post 

Be sure to check back on Saturday, November 15 at noon Eastern time when John will be hosting the challenge.

  6. Each one is perfect in the changing landscapes of our world Ritva. I smiled when I opened to see the Blue Mountains. I like the grazing goats as well

  7. Picture perfect, Ritva, simply gorgeous. I was surprised by the one in Crete and that is my favourite. Great light and composition, I wish I was there 🙂

  10. What a beautiful landscape,.. and you captured great moments into the tones of the colours, nature fascinating, Thank you, Love, nia

  11. Ritva, I’ve never heard of the four pillars described in that fashion, though clearly, once I saw the concept in your post, I realized how it succinctly describes the genre! My favorite is your winter scene, with that beautiful autumn color close behind!

  14. Ah – always so refreshing and always in perfect light! Love them all, but the green hills and the snow are my favourites – and the blue mountains. that is a superb shot!
