Chapter 9 Blog Notes

• 3 types of landscapes: the grand landscape, details, and abstract
• landscape photographers: Carleton E. Watkins, Ansel Adams, Timothy O'Sullivan
• Composition, value, unity, and variety are important to have in landscape photos
•  Camera settings--small f-stops
• good times to take landscape photography: just after sunrise and just before sunset (Golden Hours)--good quality of light--angle of sun is low, so shapes and texture are emphasized by side lighting
• lenses: use wide-angle lenses-they allow you to include really close objects and distant ones in the same shot
• Grand Landscape--the "big view: for pictures of the great outdoors-wide open expanses that showcase the majesty of the natural world
