I’ve always wanted it but to get it from Amazon would have cost around NZ$80+.

Anyway; I couldn’t resist and scored a new copy for $26.50, couldn’t believe my luck. So now I have Allard’s Retrospective, Parr’s “Think of England” and “Invasion” to wade through. And no more books for a while now…

Paul, thanks :)
Nr. 5 isn’t mine though, I’ve only made the print, out of an exchange of prints like the one with Mike R here (I wanted this photograph, made with a pinhole on colour film, but the photographer doesn’t print himself, so he’s sent me the negative and I’ve made each of us a print).
A question regarding your landscape photography.. how did you start? What is it that you like about it? Where do you come from, where do you want to go? I don’t need answers, but that is what I ask myself (not about landscape photography, but whenever I am stuck with something/someone, mostly myself)..

By the way my blog images was an idea I had to keep me sane whilst on crutches. All these images are close to home or close to my sister in laws house. I don´t live next to a national park…it´s struggle to find anything of interest and this was the only way to keep me shooting everyday. Apart from the fact I´ve been thinking of giving up landscape work completely!

5 to 9, hm, not bad .. nice play with the words.

Panos,

another difficulty is now, I’m not traveling for the next two weeks.
…and I seem to focus too much on difficulties, not solutions :)

So, time to think about the narrative.

Umm, the titles .. anything useable above?

which pictures do not work at all?

I don´t recall the screensaver link… a pity.
So what separates interesting nature images from the rest…?
I´ve never been a fan of Ansel Adams, but I like “Moonrise over Hernandez” and I have a couple of his books but they are least picked up books in my library…However I´ve never seen an image of Ansel except in books and on the web.
I enjoy Weston´s later landscape work, I´ve got quite a few books of his and I once saw a Frida Kahlo portrait, 5×7 contact print and it was one of the most mesmerizing images I´ve ever seen in my life. The quality of the print was on another level it seemed to be alive. It ruined the show for me…every other Frida portrait by other famous photographers meant nothing after seeing that contact print and I wasn´t a much of a fan until I stepped into that gallery.
I´m a fan of Michael Kenna´s work I´ve got his books and held a couple of prints in my hands, master printer however Weston still on another level.
I may be wrong but what I´m trying to say is that unlike perhaps other genres of photography, landscape work needs to be seen in the flesh and in the right state of mind.
Taste is a very delicate thing, I smiled when you mentioned vomit inducing images, I´ll just say that at this moment in my life I find them a little stale… I´m far more interested in Eva´s two images she linked yesterday than any master landscape photographer in any magazine at the moment… Eva´s images are full of life and fun and she couldn´t give a damn about typical landscape rules.

This is probably the only link to a landscape image which moves me at the moment:

On the other hand this stuff really inspires me a lot more

Here is some more cherry blossom or at least some kind of tree blossom you may like:

But DAH I think got it right the other day as usual when he wrote on Friday…

“just the way they strum that guitar….OK, yes, i have heard the lyrics to this song before ,but the WAY Danny sings it, makes it a whole new song for me… the way we photograph is so unique and personal and the way we all view them is no less personal…..”

What works for me may not work for you. I can show you one landscape photographer after another but I will never say he or she is rubbish or great I´ll just say I like or I don´t like it.

Now this image of mine is quite popular everyone always says what a lovely photo…Bollocks it´s a lovely sunset, I just stood their and took advantage of serendipity… I can´t pretend to say I´ve got much to do with it can I?http://adesirecalledcamera.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/muse/

I try to show as many landscape photographers as I can to the kids in my class, I guide them and I let them choose and we listen to each others views and learn from each other.
I use this example with the kids, music is sometimes easier to comprehend when it comes down to taste isn´t it. You may not like this music but which of three examples is better?
They are all masters…

– Longer Days
– On Short Notice
– Out Of Office Today

I added some pictures, I am not sure, however how much they add to the essay.
There are still some pictures missing, others are not fully like they should be.

The interesting thing for me is, during the last 4 years I shot completely loose, having only a vision in my mind, not an essay, series or story. Now, that I’ve selected some pictures, thought about a title, things seem to change. Now I have pictures in my head, which I want to add. At the same time, when I try to shoot, I am blocked a little, well hesitant. (I guess, that goes away soon)
