A comment from Alexandre Wesche suggests some landscape photographers who have made creative use of black in their images: Peter Schl\u00f6r, Michael Lange and Awoiska van der Molen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soulages was able to use the thick layers of black paint in his paintings as a means of projecting light.   This is clearly much more difficult in a photographic print limited to a 2D plane.   However, the photographer can make use of a pure black (e.g. for monochrome in the zone system of Ansel Adams and Fred Archer) even if pure black is rare in the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-1022x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5859\" width=\"206\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-1022x1024.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-1533x1536.jpg 1533w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-2045x2048.jpg 2045w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-468x468.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-1612x1615.jpg 1612w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-1116x1118.jpg 1116w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-806x807.jpg 806w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-558x559.jpg 558w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-655x656.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-600x601.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Silage-Bales-2-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><figcaption>Black in the landscape: silage bales, Mallerstang, Cumbria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by seeing the black abstracts of Pierre Soulages in Montpellier last year, and the previous article on landscape photos in infrared, a new article&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on-landscape-articles"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5860,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5858\/revisions\/5860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mallerstangmagic.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
