Please view image on BLACK by clicking on it. Having been to Glacier National Park nearly 20 times in 20 years (of which 13 of those years have been concentrating on photography) I knew in my gut that the light was setting itself up for an explosion of color. Pre-visualized, I ran up to this spot and just as I set up my gear, the light exploded! I literally took 485 images back to back over the course of 40 minutes. This is near the end of that sequence, the 402nd image. Even now spending over 200 days a year in the field shooting and leading workshops full time, it is not usual to know what is going to happen before it happens nor getting an image you know in your heart you are going to be happy with even before looking at the LCD. This is one of those few fortunate times. Post production methods are shared on my various Photoshop Video Tutorials you can find at WildForLight.com Huge thanks to friends Peter Coskun, Ryan Engstrom, Ted Gore, Alex Noriega, Erin Babnik, Nick Diggins, Andrew Mitchel and John Harrison (title) for great feedback before posting this. If you so desire, feel free to Facebook me. I share a lot of miscellaneous information there. THANK YOU for looking. Great light to you! :)
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.
