Landscape

I was sitting on a bench in a forest in Macedonia, observing the plain, green landscape contrasted with the blue sky and the admixtures of orange, yellow and red highlights of the sunset. The atmosphere was very peaceful, imposing warm and calm surrounding, affecting my own state of mind and bringing complete joy and freedom. Although the colors were contrasted, they were also harmoniously interrelated, creating a compact landscape full of different, flowing hues. The horizon line was interrupted by the arrangement of the trees, incorporating more dynamics in the actual environment and its components. In addition, there were a lot of shadows, actually covering the right half of the landscape in my imaginary framework. It was an ordinary forest view, but the special part was the complex interconnection and mixture of the various colors and their contrast and concord at the same time.

I would capture this photo in color, since there is a great variety of hues and sun highlights. I would use a normal lens and a very closed diaphragm, so that the focus would be the color and the sharpness of the landscape. Therefore, each hue would come out clear, adding to the completeness of the peaceful surrounding.
