There has never been a significant landscape photograph in the entire history of photography. No top 100 photos of all time list would ever include a landscape.I know landscapes were looked down on in paintings as well. Should I swap to street photography? landscape seems a dead end.
>>4378750also I have been looking up top 100 photos of all time lists. It seems generally nothing to do with photography and just more a list of the top 100 events of all time that somebody managed to photograph.ie world war 2 stuff, hindenburg, atomic bomb going off, women getting vote, building new york, poor people, that tank running somebody over in china, etc
>>4378750>There has never been a significant landscape photograph in the entire his...
>>4378750I myself certainly don't give a fuck about landscapes and noone will. noone will care about your street neither. no retarded top 100 listicle will notice you and why the fuck do you even care. the absolutely best scenario for you would be exhibition in strip mall in your shithole hometown and get 15 likes on instagram. if you enjoy walking around with a camera this is your endgame. noone gives a fuck about your landscapes and noone will stop you from making more of images that you enjoy. if you're doing it for fame, glory and money just fucking quit already, it's not too late yetalso fuck me for falling for that retard's ragebait threads
>>4378752Ansel adams sure was good at marketing.
>>4378752My literal and unironic exact thoughts.
>>4378754if something significant happens on the street and I go photograph it, people will care about it.I am not sure anything significant is going to happen with some trees and rocks though.
>>4378752also wtf OP, what is this photoshopped version? In the original the sky is way blacker.
>>4378758for reference here is the non photoshopped version.
>>4378757This post is similar to someone fighting for McDonald's being good food.
>>4378750same with birding. if you are more than 2-3 metres away from your subject its automatically a shit photo
anon if you only care about fame buy a leica, switch to street, naked women and blm protests and most importantly work on your social skillsand leave 4channel thx

>>4378912>>4378823Get shit on OP
>>4378912This is a fake image
>>4378750For a long time, the 3 highest forms of art were portraits of mortal lords, scenes of their exploits, and religious scenes. So fellating the rich, and spiritual hubris. Good riddance.Landscapes were later considered more important than portraits and historical scenes for a long, long time and the only reason this ended was (((hollywood)))'s creation of the cult of celebrity. And now most "important" (ephemerally) photographs are of famous people wearing famous designers ugly ass dresses to promote a movie. It's all money money money! You're back to fellating the local duke but instead they're a pedophile.Much like muslims abhor depictions of gods creation and prefer calligraphy, it SHOULD be seen as more morally and spiritually pure to appreciate god's creation (landscapes) rather than fellating of man's ego. Portraiture fucking disgusts me. How is beyonce important enough for her photo to be special? How is someone a better photographer if they take a photo of brad pitt? LOOKING AT LEIBOVITZ THE NEPO-BABY HACK HERE.Also to paint a religious scene is hubris: How can you know what god looked like? How can you know what an angel looks like? Are you a prophet? No.All photography should be split into two categoriesGlorifying creation (landscapes, nature)Documenting history as it was. That means film, and saving your negatives. Digital is never real.
>>4378920It was shot on 6x6cm kodachrome. If the astronaut had the good sense to shoot with mirror lockup at the highest (1/500) shutter speed, it contains over 200 megapixels worth of detail. Well into the 500s if you're okay with extremely low quality detail. Some digislug will not seethe because he doesnt understand the difference between acutance and resolution. Dear digislug: Don't. Digital has superior acutance and dynamic range, film has superior resolution.It is impossible to fake an original kodahcrome slide without leaving traces a highschool forensics student could spot.
>>4378921come on man, you can't be this based you are scaring the hoes
>>4378922It's not the film is fake. But rather it's a photo of a set. That is my fault for not being more clear.
>>4378932This has been thoroughly debunked to the point that every nation on earth, including the sworn enemies of the united states, would have to be in on it for it not to be debunked.China has launched surveillance gear at the moon (1st 2 chang'es) just to try and find out if it was faked. The set would be impossible to build and keep consistent with the real appearance of space without going there for reference material first. You would also need an anti-gravity room.>inb4 aliens etcAmerica did in fact land on the moon. The denial is all a subversive russian propaganda program because russians are small brained subhuman apes that relied on stolen german, japanese, and american technology to get somewhat into space and they couldn't keep a life support system for a fucking turtle running even 3/4 o the way to the moon. Russians are too stupid to land on the moon, but not too stupid to try and save face by spreading lies and rumors. That's where the conspiracy theory came from. Commies being less than human, as usual. Almost everyone of human intelligence left russia before stalin even took power.
>>4378750landscape photography used to be extremely important because people didn't know what other places looked like and photos and paintings of places like yellowstone directly led to them becoming national parks in the USA. its insane to say that isn't "significant"
>>4378752>>4378759>>4378849>Le incel Adams Kill yourselves, plebs. Edward Burtynsky solved capitalism in pic related
Andreas Gursky solved Anthropocene
>>4378781Ken[
>>4378982>>4378981These are journalism not landscapes, you could also make a case for them being architecture photos.
>>4379003He is infamous, not famous. I realize that in the modern era the distinction is largely considered irrelevant, but it matters.
>>4378981>burgerpunkI know this photo was probably blackpilling when initally taken, but now it's taken on a kind of comfortable nostalgia. The photo has a certain liminal quality, and not the 'backrooms' kind. It's all drive-thrus, eating in your car, catching a break from driving and there was a real comfort in that even though the food sucked. I think burgerpunk could be a good name for that weird 90s edginess for things like Eminem, beavis and butthead, postal, clerks -that kind of stuff. Just kind of a gross-out, drugs and sex, burnout vibe.
The fuck you talking about man?Rhine II by Andreas Gursky was the most expensive photo ever sold at auction. Burtynsky, Ansel Adams, Sebastiao Salgado, Edward Weston, Max Rive, Guy Tal, Valda Bailey, Ted Gore...Just because they aren't household names doesn't mean that Art photographers aren't making money. Landscapes are commonly the most desirable variety of artwork at auction - that includes in photography. If you were prolific, talented, and had good representation, you could make a living as a landscape photographer. But it takes a huge effort. I've worked with artists, including photographers, who dedicate 90% of the space in their home to their art. Every penny they make goes back into making more prints. Its not easy. You have to be addicted and dedicated to it.
>>4379015the longer I look at it, the less shit it gets.
>>4379015Many years in the future this will be used as an example of why ai art took over.
>>4379019Like imagine trying to argue for the artistic merits of this image or what it says about a society that places this as its highest form of art.
>>4379020I think its probably more about the composition than the content of the photo. The repetition of color grey, green, grey, green... and the parallel lines, the whole imagine is very repetitive, and it has almost a hypnotic quality to it. Look at it for long enough and I feel that same sensation when you repeat a word too many times and it ceases being a word. Everything in the photo begins to lose context and meaning.It is great from a technical photography perspective. It's kind of like Acid Jazz-fusion bands, it's only really interesting to music nerds. But I would never hang this on my wall, or pay money for it.
>>4379019>>4379020Portraits of the world including what we did to it are the highest and most important. Least important are the individuals. Of penultimate highness are of peoples ways and patterns of behavior.
>>4379034Says who, you? Lmao
>>4379071I agree with him. The photos that matter are of what is intransitory. I do disagree that photos of individuals are worthless, they can be made worthwhile so as long as that person represents an archetype, or embodies something of the human condition in the moment of the capture. But photos of people as individuals are mostly worthless.
>>4378854>anonThat’s a tripfag. Know the difference!
>>4379103even worse, that tripfag is sugar
>>4379004Landscape in murica started as survey. it can serve multiple purposes. This is landscape. But it is man altered landscape.
