landscape shots

Wide nature photographs

Landscape shots are photographs or film footage featuring wide views of scenery—mountains, valleys, coastlines, or other natural vistas.

In photography, the term often implies horizontal framing (as opposed to portrait orientation), though landscape shots can be composed vertically.

In cinematography, these establishing shots convey setting and scale: The film opens with sweeping landscape shots of the Scottish Highlands.
