Unit 5 Activity 5

The photo that I took above is a landscape that shows depth through putting a subject in the foreground. When I took this picture, I got really close to the bush in front of me so that I could get a close-up of it along with the sun flare. I think anybody who views this picture would agree that the sun flare accentuates the bush which makes the foreground look ten times better than the background. The subject matter in the foreground  sticks out the most and makes this photo unique compared to other photographs that I've taken before.

The two photos that I took here both show open and closed landscapes. The photo that I took at the very top would be considered an open landscape while the photo that I took underneath would be considered a closed landscape. When I look at the open landscape I can see everything that can be seen in this landscape. There is nothing in the way that would obstruct or distract my view of the beautiful landscape that's in the photo. But when I look at the closed landscape I can only see part of the landscape. The building is obstructing my view of the landscape that's basically hiding behind the building. I honestly prefer open landscapes when compared to closed landscapes.

Both the landscape photo and landscape painting above are great mediums to be used when showing and depicting landscape. Although, I truly do think that the photograph is a better medium to use when compared to using a painting. I think using a photograph as a medium to show landscape is better because it shows what the landscape looks like in  real life. It shows exactly how beautiful or interesting a landscape can look while paintings make the viewer use their imagination to picture what the landscape looks like in real life. Imagination is also good to use but I personally feel like photographs bring the most justice to show the actual look of a certain landscape.
