Outdoor Photography

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Is it a scene in the small mountain country, mere foot-hills? Must you study how to make them look shut-in, cramped? Or is it a view in the Rockies, where a cliff in the foreground is a mile high? Must your picture tell of the big scale of things How do you produce the effect? Perhaps a figure, even in the near foreground, would be dwarfed, lost. The scale is too big, yet the effect must be produced. That is a prob lem to puzzle you, yet it must be solved if you are to make the scene real. Possibly an Indian is stretching out his arms to point the extent of the possessions of his forefathers, perhaps a girl of your own party will show the awe she feels in her face, in her attitude. Perhaps, oh, perhaps a thousand things, and that is the joy of the problem. But all this you must feel. It must penetrate to your very soul before you can portray it.
