Unit 5 Activity 4

Unit 5 Activity 4: Open or Closed Landscape


Closed Landscape


Open Landscape

     Above are two pictures, one of a closed landscape and one of an open landscape. The sense of depth in the picture is much more difficult to establish, it is also a technique that a photographer may use if the sky or horizon line is not the most interesting part of the image. 

     In the open landscape, the sky is included and viewers can see the entire scene. This is a more traditional type of landscape photography. 

    Both of theses styles make the photos more open to interpretation. With the closed landscape it completely changes the scene and what viewers will see, focusing people's attention to the less obvious. In the open landscape, viewer's will interpret the landscape image as they see it in front of them.
