What are Rural Landscapes?

“ Any landscape is a condition of the spirit” – Henri Frederic Amiel

Rural Landscapes are the vast geographical features of anything that consist of large expanses of nature. This includes Croplands (Farms), Forests, deserts, swamps, grasslands, pastures, rivers and lakes. In photography, Rural Landscapes genre focuses on the countryside, its people and the unaltered beauty of the world.

Unlike Urban landscape photography which focuses on the activity, volume and tumultuous visuals, Rural landscape photography captures mainly the secluded and soothing peace of nature.

With an F-stop around F11 to F16, And and a shutter speed around 1/100 to 1/200 these setting are best suitable combined with an a correct ISO depending on lighting,

Rural Landscapes can establish a sense of nostalgia, with familiar landscapes becoming a lasting place of home. Either for good or bad reasons rural landscape photography captures a indissoluble image of a place in time.

(St Peters Village 1912 – Now)

Rural Landscape photographers with their work try to target spaces within the world, where both tranquillity and chaos co-insight, grandeur or pocketed locations lie and prepossessing sights unfold .
