Altered Lanscapes Photo Shoot

Contact Sheet 

 

Overall I think that the shoot went well, was planning the photo shoot I wanted to gt the the beach just before sunset during golden hour so I could uses the colours of the sunset to enhance the image, however when I arrived at the beach the sunset had set. But looking back at the images I prefer having the deep contrast between the last remaining beams of sunlight with the contrasting dark clouds in the sky.

I feel that this image is the strongest outcome from the whole of the shoot. I took this image using natural lighting, as I went during the golden hour the light helped me to make the image have a Romanticism feel to it. I took this image using a high shutter speed as I wanted the crashing waves to be in focus and sharp and the image to be of a high quality. The image has a slightly cooler undertone to it because of the dominant colour of blue which has then been coupled with the neutral colours that come with the beach setting. I took this image at St Brelades bay I went to this beach specifically as I knew that when the sunsets over the land the area starts to become darker and the remaining light create a dramatic contrast in the sky. I made sure that the tide was coming into shore when I was doing the shoot. As I wanted to be able to capture the reflection of the sun setting on the wet sand which would not have been possible of the sand was dry. The first idea that I wanted to try when I began the editing process was to select a small area of the image and then rotated in 180 degrees so it was upside. When doing this I made sure that the crashing waves that goes across the middle of the image where still one continuous line. When I had done this I wanted to edit the image further as the image looked plain. I then selected a small section of the part that had already been rotated and flipped in upside so it was inline the rest of the image.
