I am trying to understand landscape photos..so i took a couple

[snowbear116 47]

I like both, but the second one is a mixed bag - I love the lighting but I think there's too much stuff in the foreground.

I walked up to the base of the mountain in the first one. I'm very overweight and thought I was going to die, but I made it. Even with the ice on the trail. The iPhone said I climbed 32 flights of stairs

Fixed the first one - I don't know why it didn't show.

That was is even more beautiful

wow well all i can say is these photos were worth it...i love all three.. but partial to the one with peak of boulder stretching for the sky..and of course i realize you do not always need clouds if your composition is so stunning

One way to develop your eye is to take a photo of the same, exact scene throughout the course of a whole day. Beginning around 6 AM and finishing around 8 PM the idea is to shoot the exact same photo with the only difference being the time of day and the lighting. The old exercise called for striping to gather small strips of the prints from top to bottom, but I don't think that is necessary. Obviously you can take a photo every hour or every two hours, but the idea is the same.
I personally think the best way to do this would be to shoot off of a tripod, with a quick release plate bolted to the bottom of the camera, and the camera just slid into the tripod right where it sits, as you take each of the various photos. That way you are taking exactly the same photo.

Thanks that is a really a great way to learn the best lighting

In this case the Environment is a variable ... so not so insane.

The more things you try, the more you will discover that you like or dislike.

See already practicing... some great skies toniteView attachment 172358 View attachment 172359

I like the first one. As most people read left to right the clouds lead my eye naturally to the trees. The second one is a bit to cluttered and the top of the tree is cut of.

The good thing about photography is that there is always something new to learn and discover. Plus landscape photography gets you out into the fresh air [emoji3]

I wore out the std lens on my old Pentax k1000. The clicks for the f stops were more like minor humps.
Mind you I was using five meters of film a day min. Back when I was a teenager Lol
And before anyone asks YES I did film the building of the Ark
