Fine Art Landscape Photography and the elements that make up a well balanced photograph.
So what are the elements that make up a well balanced fine art landscape photo? First of all, art is more about the artist's vision and how the artist chooses to convey that vision to his or her audience. So art isn't necessarily about being perfect or traditionally correct. For me, the final outcome of my images are the end result of a relentless pursue to bring to life the vision I had at the time of capturing the image.
For landscape photography there are a few things to consider when deciding on what elements to include in the image. There is a wide subject matter that can be used in fine art landscape photography and each has it's own elements that can be used in accordance with the scene. For this article I will use a photo from my portfolio "My Oregon Coast".
As we look at the above photo we can see that the image is pleasing. It brings about an emotion that puts us inside the image as if we are there. But for most folks, they probably can't explain what they really like about it other than it's pleasing to look at and it may remind them of being there or somewhere similar. Some might look at the photo and be able to identify that they like the shapes or the color.
So let's take a look at what I see as the artist and why it is a fine art landscape photograph that conveys my message.
1. The scene has meaning. It takes me to a peaceful place where I could spend many hours meditating and reflecting. A place that brings warmth to my soul.
2. The scene's colors blend together well. The image has a dynamic range of vivid colors that are pleasing to me.
3. The scene is well composed. There are no distractions throughout the scene and the horizon has been cropped in accordance to the landscape. No need for more or less cropping.
4. The scene has multiple subject matter. These type of landscape photographs are good to find because they tend to hold the viewer's attention for a long time because there is so much to see throughout the landscape.
5. The scene has rare and unusual elements. There are rare shapes, colors, growth patterns, a waterfall, rock formations and other elements throughout the photograph. There is even a lone seagull in center frame that shows well on a large print.
6. The scene has leading lines. The eyes tend to read a photograph from the bottom up. Traditionally it is great to find landscapes that can be composed in such a manner that there are elements in the foreground that lead the eyes up and into the scene. This fine art photograph has many points of entry that lead the eyes in multiple directions.
7. Light on the scene. The best light for just about any landscape photograph is going to be just before sunrise and just after sunset. The light for this photograph was shot in mid-morning with a cast of clouds that were covering much of the suns harsh light, therefor creating some great soft lighting which helped light the entire scene will preventing a shadowing effect.
Light and subject matter are very crucial for fine art landscape photography and probably the most important aspect. So it is up to the photographer to hone the skills neccesary to make a fine art image. These skills develop over time as the artist practices the principals of balancing the elements. I believe an artist is continually developing new skills throughout his or her career.

Boiler Bay At A Glance - The Making of a Fine Art Photograph
One of the most serene areas of the Oregon coast is located right at Boiler Bay State Wayside. Located just south of Depoe Bay, this small roadside attraction is one that hasn't been photographed to the degree that some of the other more popular spots along the coast have been.

Exposure For Fine Art Photography In Broad Daylight | Misty Morning On Seal Rock
On a recent trip to the Oregon Coast I was able to capture some amazing photographs despite the less than desirable weather. The Oregon Coast is notorious for having a dense fog creep in off the ocean in the early morning and then start to dissipate in the early afternoon. I didn't see the sun come out at all for the first couple days after I had arrived. The weather wasn't really a big deal to me because I was there to make photographs and generally people tend to expect to see coastal photographs with fog or mist in them.
I have been to the Oregon Coast several times before on vacations, but that was before I got really serious about Fine Art Photography as my form of art and expressing my visions. I have a background in art and film making, but for me photography is the medium that I have come to choose as my main focus of interest.
