One of my favorite mornings of shooting I've had over the years. Alone in the mountains of Montana, freezing my ass off, under one of the better sunrises I have seen in my life. I have another shot of this morning that is one of my more popular photos, but I stumbled across this one recently and decided to give it work up. Anyways, I finally got the second video in my post-processing instructional series up and available on my site. In this video I show you easy ways of creating a dreamy atmosphere without sacrificing texture, as well as how to obtain the dark, rich, and dramatic mood I often express in my post processing. Very simple techniques that yield bold results. If you're interested, head on over to Ryan Dyar Photography. and check it out. You will also find info on my other video, processing lessons via Skype, workshops, and an EPIC tour to Norway that I'll be teaming up with Arild Heitmann for!
Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.
Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect the living synthesis of people and place vital to local and national identity. Landscapes, their character and quality, help define the self-image of a region, its sense of place that differentiates it from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives.
The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions.
Landscape may be further reviewed under the following specific categories: landscape art, cultural landscape, landscape ecology, landscape planning, landscape assessment and landscape design. The activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land is named Landscaping.
