Originally posted by RICHARD L. They call such foreground elements the "anchor" of the picture. David Muench from California was the master of this technique using a 4X5 Linhof with a 75 mm wide-angle lens and applying tilts according to the Scheimpflug Principle. You can find awesome landscape photobooks by this famous author and photographer.
Many thanks Richard. I wasn't aware of Muench - will check out his work - or the term "anchor".
In Australia, every landscape photographer is influenced by the late great Peter Dombrovskis, who helped us see our country in a different way. One of his images was actually instrumental in saving the remarkable Franklin River in Tasmania from a dam project that would have destroyed it. Dombrovskis was a master of composition, including the use of the foreground "anchor".
