Dear Friends,
...
A handsome "Landscapes" is the dream of a photo artist. Though natural physical features are the vital parts of a landscape, man-made structures also play an important role in few cases. Cottages, houses, temples etc. sometimes become imperative components of a landscape. If we keep some points in our consideration, we can brilliantly add above said structures in our photograph:
1. Manmade structures should not be very prominent in our photograph. They should be used as supporting elements. This is possible by maintaining proper distance between the camera and the structure or by using a wide angle lens.
2. We should avoid placing the architecture in the centre of a frame as it seems dividing the frame into two parts (left and right). It’s wise to place the supporting figure at any of the golden points as per the rule of third.
3. The structure of any bright colour will add meaning to the landscape. We have to avoid the structures of dull colours.
4. Shooting during early morning or late evening will help us presenting the architecture delightfully as this light helps in highlighting the details.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
ReplyDeleteBreathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Most important is, you have 'spotted' the pictorial values in the scenes and the composition is bang on the mark with rules of 1/3rd, 2/3rd religiously followed.
Congrats. Keep up the good work.

Dear Pankaj.
ReplyDeleteMy kindest regards to you from Chile, ending summer here and soon autumn (my favourite season).
Thank you very much for all your mails; I enjoy them and please do not stop sending a copy to me.
Through my dear friend Tilak I knew about you. India is such a special country for me and I am lucky to have two friends there. Do you know about Chile? we are so far away, aren't we?
I am not a good photographer; I do not have a good camera but I enjoy photography and all concerning arts.
My best regards to you and thank you very much.
Luis, Chile (South America)
Dear Mr. Luis,
ReplyDeleteI feel glad to receive your message. Thanks. I know Chile. No doubt we are very far from each other but due to photography art I feel myself very close to you. I'll be sending you the mails about the updates in my blog in future. Please remain in touch.

Dear Dr. Pankaj,
ReplyDeleteI must say its your nice gesture, keep updating ur blog,
that benefits the entire photographic fraternity at large, specially the
beginners. I am forwarding to more than 2-dozen beginners & photo-enthusiasts, who needs such input. Keep doing, don't bring to halt.
Ur recent Landscape was most appreciating, because landscape can not be made sitting at home, you got to move out n
should hv knowledge of the subject, which reflects from ur attached Pics.

Dear Pankaj, --- its funny to that you have same discussions as we have here, about nature and landscape photo. Here we have nature as a category, and there must not be any manmade structures in the motive. It is very difficult because Denmark is a small country and all landscapes is part of manmade culture. So only details can be noted as nature. I find this stupid and never think about it, because "manmade structures can be in full harmony with landscapes and add some interesting points in a picture. Same as in your pictures I have seen." You are a very good photographer, with eye for good composition and your photos are full of harmony and you need no rules to lead you. Richard Avedon said "there are no rules for good pictures". Cities and industrial areas are also landscapes, maybe you should try this. After all every photo is a aesthetic selection by your self. Does aesthetic have any meaning? You can ask any female-peacock, and will learn it means a lot for breeding and if we think more about it, we can say that may be photo is a kind of sex..!! (interesting right).
ReplyDeleteDear Pankaj, was this too much for you, let me know your comments. best regards

Dear Mr. William,
ReplyDeleteHello,
Thanks for your mail. I'm very happy to read your views.
In fact "involving/not involving" human or human made structure in a landscape depends purely on one's liking or disliking. What I think is , "if man or man made element supports our picture, it's quite ok".
Warm regards,
Your friend,
