WORK DIARY - landscape

How I made these images -
To photograph these images, i used a high f/stop so that everything was in focus, and then i simply located the camera in various locations to get the desired look i wanted. Due to the lowlight after the storm it gave an eerie and creepy feel to every photo which i loved. The harsh contrast between the soft white of the clouds and the dark clouds created an amazing look and great feel to the photo. I used a tripod to achieve these images along with a fuji-film camera.

Critical Evaluation -







I chose both of these images as they are my least favourite of the five images. The lighting and framing was not as good as the other images.

I believe the images are too dark and the shadowing really brought the images down, I believe image two is heavily shadowed due to the location and time of day which caused the image not to look as good as it could've at a different time of day.

Although these photos aren't terrible, they do look slightly unprofessional due to the harsh shadows and contrasts- that do not run smoothly.









Image one is one of my favourite images taken in harlow. To take this image i manipulated it with photoshop with the 'curves' took to make the building look a lot darker and make the sky stand out a lot more. I intensified the contrast and the shading. I used a tripod from a low angle.. 










Image two is taken also in harlow, i used the 'burn' tool to manipulate the shadows here and this enabled the blue sky to stand out a lot more which i thought liked beautiful. I also intensified the contrast with image two like in image one.




Lastly, image three was taken in the same location as the previous images. To get this image i used a higher f/stop than the other two. In photoshop i only used the brightness tool and declined the brightness. I didn't emphasise it like images 1-4 because i wanted a more 'sundown' look which i think i achieved. By the colours of the clouds heavily contrasting with each other it enables the image to look almost 3D as if it were to be moving. I really like this image due to all the different components created.

STRAIGHT IMAGES - Landscape

image one edit-
I like this image due to the depth of colours, as the building
really stands out. To give it this effect i used photoshop
curves and after, adjusted the brightness to manipulate the dark
clouds.
image one unedited-
image two- edit
This black and white of this image shows a sharp contrast between the lighter
and darker parts of the image, the lightness of the clouds enables the image to
look angelic. 
image two unedited-
image three edit-
The use of the black and white in this image creates an eerie type of
atmosphere making the sky scraper look abandoned which i especially like
as its very different from the original.
image three unedited-
image four edit-
Like image three the black and white enable it to look abandoned, however
due to the filter it makes it look as if the shadows are crawling down the posts which emphasises
the creepiness of the photo. Giving the image it's own personality.
image four unedited-
image five edited-
This image has been manipulated to look a lot darker than the original.
The use of the 'burn' tool on photoshop as well as the 'curves' tool gave me
this result. The clouds and sky are the lightest part of the image, however due to
the depth of field we are instantly attracted to the building in the bottom left, and the building
furthest away.
