Landscape photography is capturing an image that embodies the spirit of the outdoors and makes the viewer feel like they are there.
In landscape photography it is important to get the right aperture, shutter, and ISO to work together to give you the perfect exposure otherwise the image may result in looking dull and not capture the best photo. This means not overexposing the highlights and underexposing the shadowy areas.
Rural Landscape Photography
Rural landscape describes the land area which is not densely populated or developed. The rural landscape provides natural resources, food and fiber and wildlife habitat.
Rural landscape photography is about capturing an image in countryside capturing the essence of life.

Romanticism
Romanticism is an artistic and cultural movement originating in Europe at the end of the 18th century, and increased interest in nature, emphasis on the individual’s emotion, horror, dread, terror and imagination. Emotion and feeling were important, not only from the artist creating the work but also how it should be presented. Instead of atmosphere we get an emphasis on the mundane, the overlooked, the nondescript, failure.
The Key themes are emotion and imagination, nature , and social class. To be influenced greatly by the evolving world around them.

Composition
Golden Ratio:
The golden ratio can be used to offer a sense of harmony, and is one way to balance an image. It leads a viewer’s eyes around an image in a balanced way, meaning they will view it in a certain way following the line and ending at the end of the spiral.
It is used to emphasise movement in a photo to create a dynamic feel.
This is best used for images where there are many things happening in the scene. They could be people, buildings, and other subjects or objects.
Rule Of Thirds:
The rule of thirds is a compositional rule about breaking the flat and conventional angles. Cameras Often have the grid on the screen when taking a photo to help use this rule.
when taking a photo keep the focal point/object one of the intersecting points. By doing this, it makes the image more aesthetically pleasing and is more intriguing then placing the object in the middle of the photo. Do not place the horizon in the middle instead aim for the top or bottom third.
The rule of thirds is best to add interest to minimal scenes. These scenes don’t have any distractions as you won’t have many different subjects in the middle ground or background.
Ideas
I will make sure to go to each location when there is different weather, for example the woodland location I will go when it is a misty day but also when the sun is out because then I could get the sun light through the trees. The coastal I would like to go on a day where it is bright so I can get a contrast with the caves and cliffs. The Countryside/fields I want to photograph on a day with clear skies either no clouds or full with clouds so the I can incorporate the 1-10 spectrum.
Excellent development, and well-structured!
Keep up the hard work!
