Going through my neglected stuff, I can't help but try to deal with my landscapes. Now I admire and even like the images people post, but most of them are not what I look to do (at least, most of the time). That is, people produce stunning images of a technical quality that I could aspire to, often with substantial evident post processing. Sometimes it is a great image, sometimes a great evocation of mood, but that tends not to be what I look to do. I rarely set out to take landscape, they normally happen when I am visiting a location, and the prime reaction I try to achieve is to evoke the feeling of being there. Sometimes, all I achieve is a banal snapshot, but that's fine too, at least for me. Sometimes I think I might have something a little different that might work for a viewer who wasn't there. But of course, I don't really know as they don't normally get to see any of them.
So here's one from Slovenia I quite like. Taken from a height, no sky. Any use for a random viewer? Curiously the EXIF is all to cock, as it says "4.5mm", this must be at least 45mm/90 equiv. For me, it takes me right back there,
That is, in contrast to the wide angle snapshot, although that gives the context much better. Of course, the same effect of the first cannot be created by a digital crop of the second.
