a monochrome image of kirkjufell, during this time I was not really in a rush to get a shot since I had been here in better conditions, wanted to take one though in a very low shutter speed which I had set my camera on monochrome mode and made some adjustments on the values. don't get to see much B&W photos make it to the top of 500px but I guess the best chance you got in doing it is with a very popular location. Im off to the ISLE OF SKYE in a couple of days for some unfinished business, this time a pure photography trip which I will do with only 2 friends from london. excited. Then its back home for a long shooting absence as I start work in a new office.
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.
