Aerial Photos of Rural Landscapes

An architect by trade, Alex MacLean has photographing the rural landscape since 1975 as his way of performing site analysis.

Carefully Composed Long Exposure Shots of Gleaming Landscapes

Sydney-based Samuel Burns uses a large format camera set at extremely long exposures (up to eight hours) to create these gleaming landscapes.

He explains:

I hide away behind the camera under a dark cloth to compose each image on a ground glass, seeing the image up-side-down and using old fashioned dials to adjust and refine the composure. It is not unusual for me to spend half an hour setting up a composition, employing large format camera movements such as rise, shift and tilt and then hiding back away under the dark cloth to make sure everything is perfect. It needs to be to make sure the wait is worth it!
