rule or view ?

while I started my landscape, many of forum friends had share with me all the “guidelines”/”rules” e.g. 2/3 horizontal line …etc …. appreciate that and I learn fast from everyone inputs….

as for now, I trying to share as much that in my mind to my gang, friends, workshop participants ..etc …. all the “guidelines” but I always emphasize .. while we trying to think and follow the “guidelines” , we can still capture what we love to capture as snapshot or follow own preference as this will make us enjoy the photography … rather stand there without any shutter press even the view is great ….

e.g. of this … I can’t make any good decision while the light (cloud on left top) moving real fast and if I still move myself to look for better angle then I definite will miss this beautiful sky …. there are nothing at foreground too …. if I make foreground 2/3 ….. so I decide to capture the view to share with other rather just view this myself ….

... interset | Kemasik Beach ...

nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀

Milky way … think we went to wrong places and wasted a lot of time .. but

the Milky way and capture it easily (as long as we choose low pollution light
area)… sharing some experience how I shoot star previously

simply a photo ?

many of us understand before we press the shutter , we should plan for technical/art compo, horizontal, 2/3 …. etc ….

but there is something more important for landscape photographer

UNDERSTAND the NATURE and PLAN for the shot …

for landscape lover, it is not just photography but there are more to understand/know … e.g. tide, direction, timing, weather … etc ….

if you want to be serious then start ask yourself

1. must facing east for sunrise ?

2. is good to shoot this at low tide ? or high tide ?

3. what’s the tide level at beach near by ?

4. what time moonrise/moonset/sunrise/sunset

5. are all countries having same sunrise/sunset/moonset/moonrise time ?

etc ?????

e.g. are these plan or just shot what I see while I was there ?

Pantai Jeram high tide

 

tide coming up slow ...

 

no moon light - Milky Way

 

so do you think planning is important for a landscape photographer ?

CHINA – GuiLin Terraced Fields [桂林 , 龙脊梯田]

the 1st stop for my 1 week trip at CHINA 21-28 May 2011…. what I remember ~1hour travel from GuiLing international airport to the main Entrance of the Longji Terraces (龙脊梯田) tourist centre … follow by another ~40 minutes toruist bus to the start point of the Terraces… then ~2 hours easy walk (stair cases) to the highest point of visit point 4 ( 金坑梯田)

the first view near our accomondation ….

... 龙脊梯田 | Terraced Fields ...

 

the view simply amazing but too bad the weather raining non stop and base on the weather forecast the rain will last for another 1-2 day .. ..

but hope for the best, I still woke up ~430am the next morning to have a morning walk …. and I am happy that I found a view that can show how the water been flow through the field …..

... the Beginning | 由此开始 ...

 

farmer will start using manual way to make hole allow water from top flow down to the next field and this repeat for every layers …….
