Havre des Pas Photoshoot-

We did a class trip to Havre des pas, a place in Jersey with a boardwalk and manmade swimming pool. There was a lot of construction work in the area, and we ended up walking to the power station to get some more industrial architecture.

Like with my rural landscapes shoot, I wanted to be more experimental with my editing style, creating a range of coloured and monochrome images. I especially like the look of the images I made black and white and then hue shifted to get some interesting unnatural colours.

Anthropocene

Relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.

The Anthropocene is characterized by rapid anthropogenic environmental change, yet rapid environmental change and ecological responses to change are not unique to the present epoch. All ecosystems, past and present, have been subject to rapid environmental change resulting in novel ecosystems.

The Anthropocene, or Anthropocene Epoch, is a proposed name for the geological epoch that we’re currently living in. The name is intended to indicate that human actions have had a significant and lasting impact on the environment since the Industrial Revolution.
