altered landscape

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.

My altered landscapes

romantic landscape

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.

Fixed portrait lens

i went to science and i took a variety of photos. This was my favorite photo using the portrait lens because i managed to focus the book and and the background is blurred. To do this i had to move forward and backwards to get the book in focus but be far enough to get the background blurred.

Aperture/Depth of field

Aperture refers to the opening of a lens’s diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual, and the term ‘acceptably sharp’ is a loose one!

below are my favourite photos from the shoot.

This was my favourite photo because i used the manual focus to make make the shape as clear as possible. i allowed light come through the lens by using the aperture. i made the shape the focus point of the image because the theme was maths. i took the photo at a mid range so you could then see the background and a good overall view.
