Rural landscape photography focus’ on places that are open and less populated, such as the countryside, and capturing the life in these areas which can include photographing trees, mountains, rivers, lakes etc along with its surrounding environment. They can be photographed at any time of day regardless of weather as different types of lighting/weather can change the atmosphere and can even enhance the mood being captured in each image [i.e: shooting in rainy weather at 9pm will create a darker mood compared to shooting in sunny weather at 3pm].
The vibrance of the green on the trees is complimented by the golden colour of the sun that’s peeking through, creating a warm and almost comforting image, allowing the landscape looks peaceful due to the lack of shadows and the amount of colours in view. Along with that, the softness of the lighting helps add to the tranquil atmosphere as it’s warm tones are lighting up parts of the image and accentuating the peacefulness further.
The contrast between the darkness of the sky and the minimally lit up trunks of the trees creates an ominous image as not much is visible in frame other than the trees. The low angle of the image makes the trees looks taller and along with the lack of light, emphasises how twisted the branches are, making them reminiscent of arms reaching out from the shadows in the photo which helps further emphasise the gloominess of the image.
