Different takes on landscape images

[bmcdonough]

Hi all! 

I love this image in a recent Alpha Universe article. It really made me rethink landscapes. I'm always looking to make interesting landscapes, but I do feel myself falling into the super wide-angle, classic viewpoint. I really like that this photographer isolated the image.

What are some ways you make fresh landscapes images?

Hi. For me, I like to put on a longer lens (100-400) and zoom in to the photo within the photo. Things that we miss when looking at the big scenes but are still beautiful when isolated in nature. 
Also find natural frames is another idea I try to look for to create something different. 

Thanks!

Yes! This! I love intimate landscapes and love the 100-400 for the same reasons.
