Landscape photography

Landscape photography is one of the most popular niches of photography.

Whatever you find in front of you and your camera is a landscape – be it a stormy sea, a frosty forest or a sky-piercing tower, doused in sunlight.

Landscape photography is done for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most common is to recall a personal

observation or experience while in the outdoors, especially when traveling. Others pursue it particularly as an outdoor lifestyle, to be involved with nature and the elements, some as an escape from the artificial world.

Many landscape photographs show little or no human activity and are created in the pursuit of a pure, unsullied depiction of nature, devoid of human influence—instead featuring subjects such landscape photograph is broad and may include rural or urban settings, industrial areas or nature photography.

as strongly defined landforms, weather, and ambient light. As with most forms of art, the definition of a Landscape photography commonly involves daylight photography of natural features of land, sky and waters, at a distance—though some landscapes may involve subjects in a scenic setting nearby, even close-up, and sometimes at night.

Photography of artificial scenery, such as farm fields, orchards, gardens and architecture, may be considered "landscape" photography as well. Even the presence of man-made structures  or art may be considered "landscape" if presented in artistic settings or appearing (or photographed) in artistic style.

Further, landscape photography is typically of relatively stationary subjects—arguably a form of "still life." This tends to simplify the task, as opposed to photography of kinetic or live subjects. However, landscape photography often overlaps the activity of wildlife photography and the two terms are used somewhat interchangeably; both wildlife and landscapes may be elements of the same picture or body of work.

Technical support-

Landscape photography typically requires relatively simple photographic equipment, though more sophisticated equipment can give a wider range of possibilities to the art. An artist's eye for the subject can yield attractive and impressive results even with modest equipment.

Any ordinary camera -- film camera or digital camera—can be readily used for common landscape photography. Higher-resolution and larger-format digital cameras oermit a greater amount of detail and a wider range of artistic presentation.

However, a larger-format camera yields a more limited depth of field for a given aperture value, requiring greater care in focusing.

A camera with "panorama" function or frame can permit very wide images suitable for capturing a panoramic view.
