Altered landscape is when a landscape has been modified so it’s no longer it’s original image. Altered landscapes often have a balance between fictional and real. To create an altered landscape you need to add to your original photo by adding more images or distorting it.
Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century. Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature. As an artistic style, it is strongly emotional, evocative of a vivid imagination. Sometimes, it actually represents the irrational emotions and subjective experiences of the artist.
Romanticism has long since been associated with landscape. In the medium of photography, the sense of romance of the landscape features its blossoming spirit.
I adjusted the threshold on all of these pictures to match the style of Keld Helmer-Petersen. I also used a paint bucket to fill in white spots and create a smooth set of images
Extension –
Evaluation –
When comparing both my final outcomes, I would say that my interpretation of the extension task worked better as there are multiple flipped/ distorted images layered on top of each other with different opacity’s. This effect adds more depth and visual illusion to the overall image; combining an older style of photo editing(Threshold/ Black and White) with a more surreal way of editing(Layering images and distorting their aspects).
By using the threshold effect, and adjusting the level of threshold visibility, objects, buildings or people can be transformed to silhouettes – very under exposed and completely black. Wheres areas such as the sky are pure white and very over exposed.
Over the past 2 days, I have gone out, at around 5. I went around this time so I could get good lighting, strong contrasts and dramatic shadows. Some of my photographs have been NICHOLAS NIXON, as I took photographs capturing structured buildings and the natural landscape it sits in. I have also gone in and selected my favourite outcomes, which I will edit and evalute.
