“The landscape is everything you can see when you look across an area of land.” Collins dictionary

 Sometimes it’s useful to imagine you’re feeding information to an AI device; the very barest description of a word (in this case, also a classic genre of photography) can help recalibrate and build new meaning from what you already know.

So, to elaborate a bit on that definition above: A photographic landscape is a reduction of what exists in the particular part of the world in front of you, in that moment time. Then, taking into account what you are feeling with how you choose to represent that within your frame, a vista is symbolised via the limitations of your optical/mechanical/digital device.
