What do landscapers here think? Same same shot of MBS ok?

most landscapes people take don't have that soul anymore.
not sure about the rest, but i find that most photographers just want to "shoot that nice scene" instead of going out, planning something to achieve and putting a soul into the final photo that evokes emotions.
I'd agree with half of that statement, there are some who has the eye for such things. you can see their shots to be meaningful though the shot may be technically inaccurate, or could've been crafted better.before ones can put their soul into their art, they need to master their craft first,
there is no born artist, even a talented person need to put in a lot of efforts to hone their skills.
how to master ones craft? just spend at least one thousand hours on the subject.
UncleFai, any of your own thoughts about it?
I'd really prefer you air your own thoughts too, than just throw a touchy issue here and expect everyone to 'duke it out'
wont be surprising if one day very realistic landscape images are created with computer graphics.
I generally like to hear others out (after all this is a forum for discussion) more than having my own say. In this case, since I am totally amateur in photography, especially landscape photography, all the more I should listen more and talk less... but anyway, since you asked...
As someone pointed out, I generally go "wow, that's a perfect technical execution!" - and I will try and try to replicate it, in the process of learning. Along the way, if I feel I did a reasonable job, and I needed a pat on the back, I will go show off some better shots to friends.
But at the higher level, I think I would want to look at things at a different angle, looking for that shot that is "different". That's the (don't like using this big bombastic word but...) "creative" process.
Anyway, I do agree with your comment about styles and taste.
what about me?
