For this shoot i wanted to focus on more abstract landscapes. I went to the the greve de Lecq woods and focused on capturing the trees with gloomy grey sky and also macro shots of the trees and experiment with the ISO so try and make all of the image out of focus apart from one section of the tree/landscape.
This image is my favourite and best image from Shoot 2 of landscapes. i think this image is my favourite as it is technical and used the right control of settings like ISO and Aperture to get lighting and focus that would word. As the image is a close up shot and focuses on the detail of the tree it makes the image slightly abstract however the photo is still linked with landscapes as in the far ground of the image you can see the blurred landscape. From this the image shows lots of depth like already discussed the close up tree is in the foreground and the other trees make the far ground which makes it n interesting image to look at as it has looks going on in it. The image has a sense of framing as the use of putting the majority of the image out of focus it create a frame for the in focus section of the tree. Another aspect of the image which make it a good image is the use of texture and natural colour. The detail in the moss and bark on the tree brings texture and therefore in a way another dimension to the image. Aswell as the natural use of earthy colours like green and brown making the image very life like and be in good quality. For this shoot i didnt use a tri pod and the settings that i used where: ISO 450, f/4, 1/60 sec.
Experimentation:
For these two images i inverted the image by pressing ‘ctrl i’ and then edited the levels to create the first image. For the second image i took the first image and then started adjusting the colour selections tools so that it had a bit of colour to it. I think that these images are starting to show the mixture between landscapes and abstract as the photo is of the natural landscape of trees but when i look at it i also see nerve fibres and different patterns and shapes.
