Unit 5 Activity 3

Painting by Bob Ross

Photo by Nasim Mansurov

This activity explains the differences between a painting and a photograph of a landscape. I tried to get two similar landscapes, both have tall trees and mountains, a lake, and shades of green and orange-yellows. The main difference between a photograph and a painting is the detail. A painting lacks detail when compared to a picture, but it makes up for that in color. You can pick up on colors and shades in a painting, unlike an average photo, where these factors depend on the lighting. With a painting, you can also create your own place, with the clouds and trees exactly where you want. A photograph has to work with what's there. On the other hand, A photograph of a landscape has much more vastness and reality; you can feel how large and beautiful the area is in a photograph.
