Landscape is such an impossible to define word that it is very difficult to categorise photographs by whether or not they constitute landscape photography. Take for example the fact that the view through an electron microscope constitutes a landscape, as does a beach full of parasols. Classic landscape photography concentrates on mountains, coastlines, waterfalls, and seascapes, though this is changing. Most things and places can be photographed as a landscape nowadays, such as a wall, a kitchen, even the human body!
One aspect that unites landscape photography is, in addition to a reliance by the photographer on tripods, the light on the scenary. Preferred times at which landscape photography is conducted is dawn or dusk, when light is at a low angle. Low angled light lends a feeling of depth to the photograph, plus the low contrast removes all harsh contrasts in the picture so that the miniscule details can be appreciated. Many landscape photographers have been motivated by a love of the natural environment in addition to their artistic aims. Many landscape photographers share an ardent desire to see the environment preserved such as Ansel Adams who once wrote: “It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment”.
