After looking more closely at the work of Richard Misrach I wanted to change the ratio of my images into something more square so I picked 5×7. I wanted to make all of them the same ratio to give them more continuity as a large series. I also feel this worked for the photographs composition. In the original edits I wanted to bring down the highlight levels which gave the shy a darker appearance, I did this to add depth and make the photographs appear more realistic as the light grey overcast sky made the photograph appear more flat, darkening gave them more life. Looking back on many of these I have made them too dark and over saturated, making them look unnatural, I increased the highlight levels in the sky and decreased the saturation levels to make them more natural.

I also made black and white images. I made the images dark to give a sense of what the light was like during the time. This gives them a whole new eerie sense of ambiance. This also leaves more emphasis on the variety of textures created in the land such as the tire tracks in the mud as well as the overcast sky. This also gave the photographs a new sense of life as the images appeared flattened by the darker overcast sky. This gives the photographs more of a narrative with the dark tones.
