What's the difference between photography and scenery?

Photographic records and landscapes are two different subjects and directions of photography, and both have great hobby groups. The difference between photographic records and landscapes mainly includes the following aspects:

First, the documentary category is a rational thinking, and it is the implementation of filming after planning, which has certain social significance, while the landscape category is not prominent in the early stage, and it is more the pursuit of natural aesthetics.

2. Documentary photography has low requirements for absolute time, space, weather and environment, while landscape photography has high requirements for these factors, and what it wants to show is the characteristics and beauty of the scenery.

Third, the documentary category and the landscape category bring different feelings to the viewers. Records focus on objective facts, and want viewers to get some thoughts, while landscapes focus on nature's beautiful feelings about the world and the living environment.

Fourth, the equipment used for shooting scenery is different from that used for recording photography. Most landscape works pay attention to breadth and momentum, while documentary photography pays attention to reflecting facts and paying attention to the use and expression of medium and long focus.

5. The technical skills and requirements for image quality used in documentary photography are different from those in scenery photography. The first requirement of documentary photography is shooting and recording, while landscape photography is to use what skills and techniques to ensure delicate picture quality and convey the charm of the scenery as much as possible.

Sixth, the requirements for post-production adjustment are different. In principle, recording photography can't be adjusted later, only basic adjustments such as cutting composition, contrast between light and dark, sharpening and black and white transformation can be made, and the later work of landscape photography is to beautify and decorate as much as possible to achieve visual impact and beautification effect.
