Playing with Light Pictures by Alan Griffiths There are those who believe that a landscape should have no man made structures in them. This is becoming much more difficult as time passes, and in my view, a structure in a landscape can add interest so long as that structure is subtle and a minor part of the overall picture. There are also those who believe that a landscape picture should remain unchanged, by that I mean as taken. This is true only if your intention is to take a record shot. Post processing can take a bland record image and create a dramatic artwork, and photography is about art not just a record. In landscapes, everything changes from moment to moment, and so should the imagination. Website = www.worldimagemag.com Page 4 email = [email protected]
