Churches in the Landscape
I am currently working on a project covering 'Churches in the Landscape' but it has to follow all sorts of rules. My question is for the next few posts, what is landscape?
The project is designed to be a black and white assignment, but you can choose to use monochrome infrared if you want. Infra red is something I have only just started getting into to, so I will post some of these over the coming weeks and months, but for now, I am sticking to the bigger question?
Can a landscape include the sea? or does that make it a seascape?
Can a landscape be an urban scene, or does it have to rolling fields, mountains and lakes?
It seems everyone has their own view. If you look through the Landscape Photographer of the Year book or exhibition, you will see a mix of landscapes, seascapes, mountains, water, rivers and much more.
My local club defines it as a land based photograph, and definitely NOT an urban scene or including water.... which they see as a seascape.
Wikipedia allows anything in a landscape ... confusing matters even more.
To help me get to the bottom of this I am going to be discussing it over the next week with my fellow photographers on The Shed Photography
