Four Seasons Pictures
Summer
Lake Distract, England. Although summer landscapes often look toneless, still there is always a possibility to take a good image, if you find suitable scenery. In the photo above, the photographer didn’t include the sky and heat haze, but concentrated on the bright greenery of the meadow and trees. The author also used a polarizing filter to intensify color saturation.
The equipment used: Nikon F90X, 80-200 mm zoom lens, cable release, tripod, polarizing filter, Fuji Velva, 1/14 sec., f/11.
Spring
Outskirts of Monticello, Toscana. Spring flowers cover the ground and create a riot of color. That is an ideal foreground for shooting with a wide-angle lens.
The equipment used: Pemax 67, 45 mm lens, cable release, tripod, polarizing filter, Fuji Velva, f/22.
Autumn
Rydal Walter, Lake Distract, England. You will hardly find more dramatic scenery than on a nasty autumn day. The picture above was taken at the end of the day, when soft light and the low sun do accentuate the diversity of colors of hills and trees. It was a windy day, so it was difficult to hold the camera steady and other shots of this landscape got blurred.
The equipment used: Horseman Woodman 5×4, standard 150 mm lens, cable release, tripod, filter 81B, color filter 0.6 ND, Fuji Velva, 1 sec., f/22. Winter
Northumberland, England. In winter weather conditions are of utmost importance for landscape photography. However you can always find something interesting to shoot. The landscape above is photographed in a cloudy evening. Probably a clear blue sky would look better, but the photographer still decided to use a neutral color filter to add color to the sky and thus to separate it from the landscape.
The equipment used: Petax 67, 55 mm lens, cable lens, tripod, color filter 0.6 ND, Fuji Velva, 1/2 sec., f/11.
