It\u2019s a great excuse for getting out to the mountains, moors, forests and coast, and, when things come together, the pleasure of witnessing a few moments of stunning light \u2013 usually at the beginning or end of the day \u2013 can\u2019t be beaten. In many ways, the photography is an adjunct to the overall experience!<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018classic\u2019 landscape photograph \u2013 shot with a wideangle lens, and with a distinct foreground, mid and background \u2013 is still the tried-and-tested approach to the subject, and with good reason. But increasingly we are seeing different perspectives, be that shooting in flatter light, at the long end of a telephoto zoom, or in less \u2018honeypot\u2019 locations. All approaches are valid, and all made an appearance in this year\u2019s landscapes round. We hope you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed judging them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And don&#8217;t forget! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.photocrowd.com\/photo-competitions\/photography-awards\/apoy-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Round Six of APOY 2022, Close-ups is now open<\/a> until Friday 15th July, so get your entries in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Round Four, Landscapes, Top Ten<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Marco Tagliarino, Italy 100pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 70-200mm at 90mm, 1\/1250sec at f\/2.8, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/01_Marco_Tagliarino.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169014 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/01_Marco_Tagliarino.jpg\" alt=\"Marco Tagliarino dark landscape hills\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\n<p><strong>Guest judge Verity Milligan says:<\/strong> \u2018Some images are all about atmosphere, and this is a great example. Landscape photography is about illustrating an emotion, and forging a connection between the photographer, the subject matter and the viewer. To achieve this, I like to think there is a trifecta of conditions, composition and content which pulls together to create something captivating.<\/p>\n<p>This image does this well, using the atmospheric conditions manifesting towards the back of the composition to create a silhouette of the foreground. The line of the sloping ridge descends, leading the eye into the heart of the image, where a figure is standing taking it all in. This provides a much-needed sense of scale and demonstrates how awe-inspiring the setting really is. The low-key editing enhances the rising mist and the figure, making a compelling landscape photograph. Congratulations.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>2. Nguyen Tan Tuan, Vietnam 90pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>DJI Mavic 2 Pro, 28mm, 1\/2sec at f\/7.1, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/02_Nguyen_Tan_Tuan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169015 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/02_Nguyen_Tan_Tuan.jpg\" alt=\"drone Nguyen Tan Tuan landscapes photo\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a>\n<p>At first glance, this image appears to be a close-up of a piece of quartz or something similar, but look more closely and you will see tiny buildings dotted through the curves and sinews of the landscape of Lao Cai, which lies on Vietnam\u2019s border with China. It\u2019s an image that pulls the viewer in, and has a gorgeous depth that can sometimes be lacking in drone images. Picking out the subtle differences between the jewel-like colours is an enjoyable pastime in itself, and the whole image hangs together beautifully.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Glen Marillier, Switzerland 80pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fujifilm GFX 50S, 63mm, 1\/140sec at f\/5.6, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03_Glen_Marillier.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169016 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03_Glen_Marillier.jpg\" alt=\"Glen Marillier snowy landscape scenes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Glen calls this image \u2018Quietude\u2019, which is an excellent title for such a subtle yet compelling shot. It\u2019s easy to imagine the silence created by the dampening effect of the snow, and the near-blankness of the grey sky sets off the snow-laden tree beautifully. The shadow cast by the tree gives just enough definition to the blanket of white beneath it, while the placement of the horse rider creates balance and a sense of scale.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Kevin Foley, Ireland 70pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Canon EOS 6D, 16-35mm at 31mm, 20sec at f\/8, ISO 200<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/04_Kevin_Foley.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169017 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/04_Kevin_Foley.jpg\" alt=\"light house on a fill landscapes photo Kevin Foley\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Using a winding road as a compositional device is nothing new, but Kevin made the most of it by waiting until dusk to take his excellent photograph at Cap De Formentor \u2013 the northernmost tip of Mallorca. The gold of the sinuous traffic trail complements the blue of the sea and the darkening sky perfectly, and the viewer\u2019s eye is led up through the frame to the lighthouse at the top. Waiting until the light appeared in its window is a crucial finishing touch, and the image would have been far less successful without it.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Inge Schuster, Denmark 60pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 20mm, 1\/100sec at f\/7.1, ISO 250<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/05_Inge_Schuster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169018 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/05_Inge_Schuster.jpg\" alt=\"Inge Schuster autumnal landscapes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\n<p>This image is a creative and imaginative take on the classic autumnal woodland shot, in which Inge has cleverly combined techniques to create an original result. The stillness of the tree set against the Intentional Camera Movement background is intriguing and keeps the viewer interested, while the restricted colour palette of warm tones is carefully considered. The subtle orange stripes in the \u2018moving\u2019 background echo the golden leaves without being overpowering.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Doug Richardson, UK 50pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Nikon D850, 24-70mm at 42mm, 1\/80sec at f\/11, ISO 640<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/06_Doug_Richardson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169019 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/06_Doug_Richardson.jpg\" alt=\"Doug Richardson mountain landscapes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\n<p>This shot is all about the ominous incoming storm, with its dramatic clouds and contrasts in light. The viewer can feel what is about to break overhead. This, set against the dark, foreboding peaks of the mountains to the right of the frame, creates an overall picture of elemental forces that are always going to be bigger and more powerful than the humans who photograph them. Despite what must have been fast-moving conditions, Doug took the time to compose carefully, with the foreground stream leading through the frame and taking our eye to just the right point in the scene.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Tina Bui, Australia 45pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sony A7R Mark II, 35mm, 1\/80sec at f\/5.6, ISO 80<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/07_Tina_Bui.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169021 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/07_Tina_Bui.jpg\" alt=\"Tina Bui sunset landscapes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Some scenes just make you slam on the brakes and rush out with the camera \u2013 and this is a case in point, as Tina was on her way to the airport when she witnessed this spectacular play of light on the mountain range in the distance. Despite the hurry to get the shot, she has composed well, with the rivulets in the foreground leading the eye nicely towards the horizon. The blue \u2018borrowed\u2019 light balances with the sky, and then there\u2019s the gorgeous strip of orange in the centre. A great shot that was absolutely worth stopping for.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Ryan Wilson, USA 40pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>DJI Mavic Air 2, 4.5mm, 1\/1000sec at f\/2.8, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/08_Ryan_Wilson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169020 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/08_Ryan_Wilson.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan Wilson drone view of orange landscape\" width=\"778\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Similarly to Nguyen Tan Tuan\u2019s second-placed shot, at first glance this image appears to be a close-up of the patterns in rock formations. However, at closer scrutiny, we see a minuscule jeep heading out of the bottom-left corner of the frame. It\u2019s details such as this that make an image stand or fall, and in the case of this drone shot, it makes the viewer appreciate the breathtaking scale of the landscape below, and the geological formations that will have taken aeons to be created. Ryan has controlled the composition nicely, with the rust-coloured tracking contained well within the frame, and in such a way that allows our eye to travel round it coherently. An image that is worth spending time with.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Peter Henry, UK 35pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Nikon D750, 70-200mm at 200mm, 1\/40sec at f\/5.6, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/09_Peter_Henry.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169022 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/09_Peter_Henry.jpg\" alt=\"Peter Henry trees\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" \/><\/a>\n<p>\u2018This is not a classic landscape photograph in that it\u2019s shot with a telephoto and doesn\u2019t rely on foreground interest to background subject. Instead, it has a very specific and emotive mood. The light catching the trees, the hint of mist \u2013 enough to add atmosphere but not so much as to obscure the woodland behind. There are no distracting branches or trees at the edges of the frame, and the mist rolling in on the right leads the eye to the main focal point of the image, the trees catching the light. The mist creates diagonal lines to complement the uniform vertical lines of the trees. It\u2019s an image that could be easily overlooked, but that\u2019s part of the charm.\u2019 &#8211; <strong>Verity Milligan, Guest Judge<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>10. Jay Birmingham, UK 30pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fujifilm X-T3, 10-24mm at 16mm, 1\/15sec at f\/16, ISO 250<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10_Jay_Birmingham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169023 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10_Jay_Birmingham.jpg\" alt=\"rocky landscapes\" width=\"653\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>It looks as if it took a great deal of physical effort to get this shot, but it was worth it. The soft light is simply lovely \u2013 particularly the way it kisses the rocks in the bottom-left corner and highlights both the middle and distant areas. The mist was an absolute gift, but Jay has timed his shot to make the most of it, capturing it floating in front of the peak to give the image depth and dimension. It\u2019s a great study in contrasting textures, muted tones and lovely use of subtle light. It\u2019s unlikely that many of us will ever visit this point ourselves, but this image transports us there beautifully. Jay&#8217;s image is this rounds highest scorer for Camera Clubs!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photocrowd.com\/photo-competitions\/landscapes-499-landscape-photo-contest-14305\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the APOY 2022 shortlist here.<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photocrowd.com\/photo-competitions\/photography-awards\/apoy-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ENTER AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Young APOY Round Four, Landscapes winner<\/h2>\n<h3>Jamie Spensley, UK 100pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Canon EOS 80D, 70-200mm, 1\/100sec at f\/11, ISO 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Young_APOY_Jamie_Spensley.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169024 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Young_APOY_Jamie_Spensley.jpg\" alt=\"forest landscape\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\n<p>\u2018This is an excellent image that demonstrates a real understanding of how to work with (and manage) light. The uniformity of the trees contrasts with the light streaming through from the left, providing separation from the trees in the foreground to the trees behind. It has a really lovely atmosphere to it and the processing is perfect: not overdone, but just enough to bring out the mood. These are the conditions that most landscape photographers hope for, especially at sunrise, and Jamie has made the most of them with this shot.\u2019 &#8211; <strong>Verity Milligan, Guest Judge<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photocrowd.com\/photo-competitions\/landscapes-young-apoy-1-landscape-photo-contest-14315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the Young APOY top ten and shortlist here.<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Camera Club competition<\/h2>\n<h3>Mike Martin, UK 10pts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Olympus OM-D E-M1, 7-14mm at 8mm, 1\/500sec at f\/8, ISO 200<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Camera_Club_Bristol_Mike_Martin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169025 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Camera_Club_Bristol_Mike_Martin.jpg\" alt=\"black and white trees\" width=\"805\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Mike is a member of Bristol Photographic Society, and he chose it from the dropdown menu when he uploaded his image \u2013 winning his club ten points in the process. By shooting into the light, Mike has brought out the texture and shape of the trees, while also capturing more distant detail to give the image context. Converting to black &amp; white means the viewer can concentrate on the tones and formation of the trees, without the distraction of colour. Composing so that the slight hump in the horizon falls between two of the trees was a good decision, too.<\/p>\n<p>As with last year, the camera club that accumulates the most points wins a \u00a3500 voucher from MPB and a feature in AP, so keep those entries coming in!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photocrowd.com\/photo-competitions\/photography-awards\/apoy-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ENTER AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>The 2022 leaderboards following results of Round Four, Landscapes<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"169013 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Untitled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>With the results of Round 4 in, APOY veteran Marco Tagliarino has jumped not only into the top ten but also into first place with his atmospheric image, demonstrating just how fluid the leaderboard is from round to round.

Weighing 405g, with a maximum aperture of f\/2.8 and a 25cm closest-focusing distance, it\u2019s a versatile optic. And although it\u2019s autofocus, it has instant manual override. The metal mount keeps it sturdy.

This fast-aperture telephoto zoom has Vibration Reduction, which allows handheld shooting at 3.5 stops slower than normal, as well as fast, quiet autofocus. It displays excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and boasts a very solid construction.
