April Landscape Photo(s) A Day Challenge
Some of us might have been spending weeks working from home, studying or staying at home, to prevent the COVID-19 keep spreading. It’s my first week since last Wednesday, and I already miss being outdoor, to smell the fresh air, to taste new cuisine, to be in a bustling airport, to dive into the sea, to see beautiful nature and majestic wildlife, to click the shutter button of my camera…

Just to bring positive energy back, I am going to dedicate April as a month for landscape photography from my previous travels before COVID-19. Some photographers have described landscape photography as photography that captures an image that embodies the spirit of the outdoors (source). Being outdoor, doing regular activities without masks and fear, something that perhaps some of us miss dearly these days.
The idea to do the challenge came after a few of my friends posted travel and landscape pictures from their previous travels on their Facebook. The plan is to post one or more landscape photographs in a blog post with a specific daily theme in April. No selfie nor ourselves on the pictures.
Please read an article by Nasim Mansurov – What is Landscape Photography? about landscape photography. His last paragraph reminds me of the reason to start photography:
“Landscape photography is about people. You aren’t taking photos of people, but your end goal is always to show people what you captured. When you bring a viewer into a scene, giving them a sense of the world that you saw, that is landscape photography.”
I will start the challenge tomorrow with the following themes at the below picture. I develop the themes myself and you are welcome to join the challenge if you’d like to 🙂

God is in everyone and everything, after the winter comes the spring ,
The bells of joy start to ring ,
Rebirth of livelihood is a wonderful thing ,
The divine is here , there and everywhere,
For all of us , God would care ,
Dare to believe that life is fair ,
In the darkness of the night,
Stars could be shining bright,
The moonlight shows up on sight ,
Being from the divine light ,
Things are marvelous and white,
With God , by your side , nothing to fear and nothing to fright,
Gather in love and with the almighty God unite ,
Our powers we gather and
May almighty God , the warm flames of justice and love in the world ignite
God is here , there and everywhere,
Dare to believe that life is fair ,
You don’t have to compare ,
You are special and the divine would care ,
You are related to the divine spirit,
The Infinite flow is never rare , …
Thanks for doing this Indah. I know you’ve been to many beautiful places and taken many beautiful photos. I began photography for much the same reason as the definition for landscape photography; to share the beauty and joy of the places I was visiting.
Glad that we share the sane passion! I find looking back at the pictures that I took is relaxing, it helps to lift up the spirit.
Yes, I completely agree!
*same ..lol
