Size & Scale
Size and scale are important in landscape images, so it’s important to establish size with a recognizable object. When you have a picture of a landscape, say of the Grand Canyon, it’s important to have a person in the image, even if on the far side, so you can see the size of the person in comparison too the scale of the image.
The good people at DigicamGuides.com, have good advice: “If the goal of your photo is to capture the beauty of nature, then focus on that. However, if the focus of the photo is to show just how enormous the landscape is, you have to include something that provides a sense of scale (Size an Scale, 2005). In the images below, each one focuses on the size of the object in the image. The images with the insect, really showcase the scale if the insect in the close up view in the image. |
