Landscape Day!

For many, if not most people, the first thing they think of when they think about photography is beautiful vistas, lovely mountains and peaceful rivers. This is landscape photography, coupled closely with its urban brother, cityscape photography. These genres can be inspiring and it is not for nothing that the best known photographer of all time, Ansel Adams, made his name shooting 'scapes. With this in mind, we headed out to the grounds of Chiang Kaishek Memorial Hall to try to blend the genres. With care and creativity, the students again delivered excellent results.

Jim's photo shows a great foreground rock, but he hasn't forgotten to give his image depth by also thoughtfully placing the bridge in the mid-distance and the CKS Memorial deep into the background.

Annie does the classics, with a subtle rock anchoring the foreground, while taking nothing away from the footbridge in the background.

Benjamin created a very three dimensional look by showing lots of foreground, with huge structures looking tiny in the distance.

Kailynne chose a similar spot to Annie in taking her photo, but the slight change in perspective make her photo unique and totally hers.

Kerryanne also went with a lovely, wide view, showing lots of depth and scale, from the CKS Memorial, out towards the National Concert Hall and the National Theater. Nicely done.

 

Wow, the camp is flying by, but the results are certainly great. Next is the penultimate class, followed by the presentation day for the parents. Not much left, but make sure you check back soon, as you won't want to miss anything.
