Hope you enjoyed the blog and will try out creating a minimalist landscape. Very desolate looking but I like the image – the beach was very bare looking. Quite a bit of negative space, minimal color and with highlights and shadows.
(For more post details, check out Image 3 description below.) The subject definitely is a strong one in this image. The original image was created from 5 raw files in Lightroom using the Photo Merge command which creates a DNG file. (For more info, check out Image 2 below in descriptions.)Īnother example of a simple minimalist landscape. In this case it does not need a black and white treatment as it does not have a lot of colors that distracts from the subject. This image has an obvious subject, lots of negative space, minimal color palette, and some great highlights and shadows. This area is a great place to get minimalist type images as it is very flat with these gorgeous skies. The above image is another one from the Bahamas – a little lonely island near Green Turtle Cay.
(See Image 1 descriptions below for more details and links on how this image was finished.) What I like is that it creates an image that is very different from my normal way of looking at landscapes. The color palette is very limited and there is quite a bit of negative space in the foreground. There is not much in the image to see, but the little shoreline and small pier in the distance serves as fairly Obvious Subjects. (Here is a great short video of how Green Turtle Cay and the little town of New Plymouth looked after Cat 5 Hurricane Dorian came through – amazingly good considering!) The image is very dark, but does have great highlights. I believe the image above of Green Turtle Cay, one of my favorite places that is in the Bahamas, fits most of these criteria.
#Topaz impression how to
He has lots of great examples in his short video to show how to do this. Mark says the major areas to be concerned about when doing a minimal landscape are Obvious Subject, Expansive Composition (negative space), Minimizing Color, Light and Shadows, and Keep It Simple. So here are my first attempts at minimizing my images. Apparently a lot of minimized images are black and white due to color issues. It was fun to try a different technique using some of my older shots. This week I happened upon a really excellent video by Mark Denney called How to Embrace Minimalism for Improved Landscape Photos so I thought I would see if I had a few images that would qualify.
