After visiting the different bunkers around the island and having different opportunities to further my photographic understandings and capabilities when capturing historical land marks, it was time to investigate by myself and explore other significant landmarks on the island. I did some research on historical bunkers around the island and decided on the features down at Corbiere Saint Ouens. For this shoot i decided to shoot during the day as i know their are lots sea views and wanted the chance to possibly get some imaged where the sun is reflecting off the ocean. So on a Sunday afternoon i drove down to the lighthouse and took my images of the bunkers, the lighthouse and the tower; when i returned home i put al my images on my computer and opened them upin Light Room Classic which enabled me select my best images and categories them in star rating which helped me slim down my choices for the final image selection.

MY FINAL EDITS:

For this image I wanted to highlight the significance of the sunbeam seeping in through the clouds and reflecting off the ocean, to do this i darkened the clouds and lightened the sun rays which help contrast them against each other.

For the two above pieces i wanted into reflect the old and the new, from the beginning to the end of the Second World War and show the significant features that are laid on our ground and continue to show the history that the island went through during that time period. Furthermore, I presented this idea through having one of the images in a much darker colour using black and white shade along side a background of warmth which adds more feeling and thought to the picture; compared to the opposite image which has lots of colour and warm radiating from the natural sunlight.

I liked this image a lot and decided to include it in my final collection as the focus of the image is on the tree and the rocks are blurred which I believes gives an enticing contrast and makes it original from the rest of my images

For this particular image I liked the idea of the isolation of the bench and the idea of looking out to a infinity of ocean and help point out historical meaning of what it may have felt like to be part of the Second World War
