45. Visual Journal: A Different Take on Landscape Photography
I’ve tried nature landscapes a number of times and I think I’ve got a shot or two that I like but in general, I usually just get a big green mess of blah.
I recently went on my first hike with a new social/hiking group and I brought my camera along. Great shots of the view of San Francisco Bay from atop a hill? Nope Majestic or dramatic trees? Sorry. My urban architecture/abstacts eye transplanted to the outdoors? Yep!
I feel the same about my own landscapes (green mess of blah). I think landscapes generally do that for me anyways. I feel like it has to be something MAGICAL. Or captivating. Loving these shots for just that reason. Agree with Mark (18 April) - that snake thing is... WEIRD. Love it.
The snake-like thing in the second photo is intriguing. It has qualities that are human, animal and vegetable. It's both interesting and slightly unsettling, which makes it a good photo.
