My personal response / opinions to rural landscapes / romanticism

In my opinion rural landscapes often help convey romanticism through themselves being more prominent depending on many factors like weather, time of day and time of year. All of these factors help to create this familiar nostalgic mood we all feel when we view work created in the romanticized genre.

selection process

as you can see above I used P and X to flag my images to filter out the bad ones from the ok and good ones, next I rated these images 4 or 5 stars as 4 being ok ones and 5 being good ones, finally I gave them the colour yellow or green, green being the best and yellow being good. I will now edit these images that I selected and present them bellow along with the raw images.

Evaluation

One common theme in all of these images is that they all are romanticised, these sunset type images with beams of light breaking through the clouds helps to create a romanticised effect to the landscape, this links back to my personal response to rural landscapes and romanticism that is landscapes often help convey romanticism through themselves being more prominent depending on many factors like weather, time of day and time of year. These images where taken on a low ISO as even though there was cloud cover it was a bright day meaning using a high ISO would result in a grainy image. The stark contrast in colour between the foreground and the background leads your gaze towards the rural natural landscape.
