Took a very pleasant hike on a local trail today. No mountain, no ocean, no ponds— just a blissful walk in quiet solitude through a winter wonderland with no sounds except for the crunching of my feet on the snow. 😀❄️ #hiking #winter #CapeCod #nature #snow #photography #landscape #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography
Also, whenI use the term “quality” here, I’m using it a strictly technical sense to refer to the fidelity of the image, not the aesthetic qualities of the image. I very much dislike this usage, but it’s fairly standard in discussing this stuff.
For industrial subjects especially, I usually end up preferring the most straightforward and boring perspective I can find that just lets the subject speak for itself. The masters of this approach were Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose "Basic Forms" work richly repays your attention if you like this kind of stuff. https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/Bernd_and_Hilla_Becher/(They would have undoubtedly gone for an overcast day to capture Big Allis, but I liked the clouds.)
