This is a set of images taken at Queen’s Valley Reservoir. The images were taken during my film shoot. I didn’t take many images because I was mainly aiming to take film rather then images. However, when I saw something interesting and worth taking I did. I edited the best images to put into the photo book. I am very happy with the set of images that I managed to take. I edited the images using photoshop. I love the pale, pastel green that occurs throughout the images. It makes the set work really well together.

EXPERIMENTAL EDITS 

As well as some simple edits I wanted to experiment with my images to make more artistic fine art edits. For one of the experimental edits I used one of my sky images as a background. I wanted to incorporate my sky image with my image of the water drop on the blade of grass. They are both really good images by themselves, but I wanted to combine them to see what It would look like.

For the second experimental edit I wanted to incorporate my idea of using film as a backdrop for an image. I used my film clip of the flowers because It works well with image of the flower. I edited both of the clips into black and white because I think it makes the clip much more powerful. The shapes and the tones become much more highlighted without the colour.

COMPARISON

After doing this photo shoot I came across this image by Rinko Kawauchi that has a very similar theme to this series by me. Within the image she is focusing on two blades of grass with a spiders web hanging from them. On the blade’s of grass there’s also water drops on them which creates an extra dimension to the scene which makes it more interesting, and visually pleasing….
