Landscape This photographic genre is most popular. Being a scenic view it has all the elements of earth, water n sky. In between there are buildings, people, and vehicles. Trees n whatever there are would be captured by the camera. Whatever the eyes see the camera sees! A wide angle lens from 35-19mm gives an advantage to capture senic view. My favorite is the Leica 19mm f/2.8. A short telephoto lens would heighten the effect of cutting off the foreground. A useful focal lenght is 90mm f/2 or 135mm f/2,8.

A vanity in landscape photography is quite often seen a heavy touch-up with photo editing tools. The end result is “a painting” or “a fake photo.” It is like a woman face heavily rouched.

The early dawn or late evening sky with it’s palette of nature gradient color or gray tone provides soothing eye calm view. Red or orange filter provides awesome dramatic cloud in black & white pics.
