Landscape: Activity 4

Question: Create two photographs in a location with tall buildings or trees using both formats. Create a closed and open landscape at one location. Discuss the different ways we read the resulting images. 

This first image was taken in Sedona as a portrait formatted closed landscape. An image such as this witch has a farther depth of field and creates a leading lines composition.

This photograph was taken at a lakes while I was out camping with my family. The composition of the photography is well defined as well as the colors on the lake. The image as described in the caption is an open landscape in a landscape format. Unlike the picture up top, a portrait photograph would cut out most of the image as well as the unique charm and characteristics that it holds.
