Or was it Bananarama with Fun Boy Three? Frankly nobody cares do they? Some stuff just never goes out of style. Landscapes for instanceThat was 'Fun Boy Three with Bananarama', surely?

I love Scott robertsons images , he runs about glen Coe and the likes and always takes images I have never saw before , it's a breath of fresh air and his stuff is stunning . To the original question , I have a friend who makes a living from landscapes and he would say it's very much alive .
I really like Scott's work too Stumac. Another worth looking at is Mike Prince (he posts regularly on Facebook but also has a website). His work is quite superb.[emoji106]

That's hit the nail firmly on the head. Instead of looking at your scene with your own eyes you instantly think, rule of thirds, lead in, foreground, mid and background, f11, it's like a robot processing something because you want to be accepted by the masses.
Exactly, I remember watching Masters of Photography on Sky Arts this year and thinking that the main thing that seperates the "experts" from the many is exposure. I can look on 500px, Flickr et al., and see hundreds of breathtaking images (although most are the result of great Photoshop skills) and what seperates those togs from say a Joe Cornish is the brand that comes with being a Joe Cornish, Ansell Adams, Clyde Butcher etc.
I've shown a Clyde Butcher book to someone who isn't that taken with photography and they are like "that's a bit boring" same with Ansel Adams, as togs we might see them and think wow that's amazing because it's the name that comes with it rather than actually looking at the work with your own eyes without the expectation that the name makes the photo.
Same with travel photography, everybody researches then goes and takes the same image.
Who is landscape photography over for exactly?
My take on the article was “dead as a creative outlet” rather than dead as a business or dead as no one is doing it
Betteridge's law of headlines suggests that any headline ending in a ? can be answered with the word no. I posted the original link because I found it thought provoking and I thought it worth discussion. As I said in post #4
I have thought for a few years that all the great locations have been done to death, so with some trepidation I am going to attempt leaving the footpaths and the well used positions.
As we all know it is easier to do in Scotland than England and Wales because of right to roam laws but I'm going to give it a go, tentatively at first maybe, especially when walking alone.
