Recently, the theme of the reporting landscape has been haunting me. Where did I get this definition? Perhaps it does not exist officially, but it certainly occurs in practice. It would seem that landscape is a landscape, but the report is different. Each genre meets its specific criteria. But the mixing of genres has not been canceled. Only here it happens is often not forced and unconscious.
I want to once and for all put everything on the shelves.
And so, where does the reporting landscape come from? It is logical that it was made during some kind of reportage, photo story or series. It can be both an independent picture and an addition to the series.
What is the main thing in the report? This is news, story, promise. The man and his activities are key in the reporting.
This landscape is a reflection of any locality, whether it is a city or a natural landscape. But in the report, the landscape cannot be bright saturated and with excessive processing. And why? Yes, because the report should reflect reality as much as possible. We must not lie to the viewer.
This is where the reportage photos show such pale colors at first glance. If we artificially oversaturated them, then there will be a lie.
And in some cases you have to even reduce the saturation, because the camera does not always transmit as needed.
In the exposition, emphasis should be placed on overexposure, that is, so that they should not be there at all. And the shadows can be slightly highlighted, but so that it is not striking.
It seems to me that sometimes I tell such banal things...
A Great Ustyug is always good! It seems that when I lived here, I did not notice all these sunsets. And now, when I arrive, it seems to me that every time a beautiful light appears here in the evening.
