Ch. 9 Notes

• Composition is one of the most important aspects of landscape photography and view point
• Landscape photographers pay more attention to where they position the camera
• an inch or two in ant direction can make a difference
• Pay close attention and see what will give you the best image
• Value, an images light and dark areas, is important in black and white landscape photography.
• Images with a wide range of tones can be more dramatic
• Images with a narrower range seems quieter and more contemplative.
• Decide what kind of mood you want others to see in your picture.
• Always achieve balance between unity and variety
• Unity
• results when all the individual parts in the picture come together and support each other
• extreme unity occurs when all parts and objects in the picture are related to each other like color, size, value, texture, and appearance
• Variety
• With total variety, nothing goes or fits with each other
• Balancing variety and unity creates a picture that is interesting to look at without being disturbed.
