New Topographics Landscape

I have purposefully posted this landscape immediately after yesterday's landscape to highlight the similarities and differences in landscape photography.

 

'New Topographics' tenants utilize a straight forward approach. Striping away the extraneous, and focusing on the beauty and simplicity of humanity's intrusion upon the land. Avoiding the picturesque it brings formality, and focuses on the conscious awareness of 'space'.

 

I was lucky with the harsh sunlight which Robert Adams used when he photographed his series in Colorado.

 

To achieve this effect I shoot through a vintage glass Wratten 5N5, 3x3 inch filter, then post edit with 'Photoscape' black and white tool.
