Week Six - Landscapes

I have to admit- I misunderstood the assignment and read last night that we have a landscape picture due! I considered my options... I couldn't take a picture at that moment (too dark out) and there wouldn't be enough time later. I settled on looking through old pictures that I have taken. I'm not sure if I will get credit, but I am going to post anyway!

These pictures were taken at my camp in NY over the summer. I am still a little unclear about what exactly a landscape is, though. Is it solely nature/land, or is it any sort of view representing that which you can see from a regular "human-eye" view? I chose these two pictures, because the first has a man-made dam in it and I'm not sure if that is appropriate. I think it's a very good picture though! The second is a beautiful sunset-time sky through the trees, and if that isn't a landscape... well then I am VERY confused :)

  1. Were you standing on the edge of the water for the waterfall one? It's such a great picture.

    I love the color of the pinks in the second picture.

  3. where is that particular dam located.

    that is such a crazy picture... i've never seen anything like that before. not up-close anyways. and now i really want to check it out in person!

    I really like the greeny (trees) in the photo, and that fact that they are framing the dam from afar.

    I also really like the fact that you happened to capture a tree, and what looks like a tin can going over the edge.

  4. This dam is in Parishville, NY, near the top of the Adirondacks. It's a very cool place! Thanks for all the feedback :)

    The shot from the dam is just too cool with that wide expanse of flat water...nice composition. The color of the sunset is just beautiful..
