The idea of landscape photography is to capture an image that exemplifies the spirit of the outdoors, and to carry a sense of being there in the moment, so that the viewer is brought into the scene. Many of the most important landscape photographers have been motivated by an appreciation of the beauty of the natural environment and a desire preserve it. This means the majority of landscape photographs avoid human disruption in order to focus simple on nature.
