Abstract- shows a part of a landscape that isn't always seen at first
Details- a closer shot that allows the sharing of details
Grand shot- overall layout of the landscape
Early landscape photographers looked to paintings
Carleton Watkins (18829-1916) wanted photos of the American Wild West

Timothy O'Sullivan (1840-1882)- Shot for a more documentary style photograph

Landscapes can be artistic by using depth of field and framing.
Photographs must have an even balance between unity and variety.
Camera settings- use a high f/ number in order to bring up more detail.
The two most common times to shoot landscape photography is just after sunrise, and just before sunset.
If shooting film- use ISO 100 to obtain more detail.
Use a wide angle lens for the grand landscape shot.
Macro lenses are good for closeup shots.
Filters- yellow filters bring out clouds, red filters darken the sky and light then cloud.

Use a tripod because of the slower shutter speeds.
