apologies if this has been done-to-death before on here before and well, not so much "what is the point of", I guess more why do yo do it or what is your aim/objective/motivation.
I'm trying to get into landscape photography, or at least I think I am, perhaps I am more into rocks and trees with a bit of water thrown in but I am struggling to decide what I should actually go out and take pictures of. I can wander through the woods and dales round here and be distracted interesting bits of of rock or twigs or whatever but these aren't necessarily photogenic. Part of me thinks I should photograph whatever the hell I like and not care whether other people are interested but I do like a beautiful landscape photo and also think I should develop good basic skills before I wander off in my own direction.
I think I need to focus on something and I think it would help me develop my thoughts if I understood what people are trying to achieve in landscape photography so perhaps you could tell me why you take landscape photos?
