The other week me and another class went out to havre de par along the coast to take some urban images. These are some images I took, edited to black and white to create that nice aesthetic.

We went all along the coast from the pool at havre de par, up until the dump near DVS. It was an interesting experience going out taking urban images, there was a lot places to take images of, each area with their own meaning behind them. Like a simple house, Lot of people would of lived in that house, with a lot of memories that we don’t know but are still there.

I like to use this image as a good contrast for showing an aesthetic. See in the first image that isn’t edited, it uses a dim exposure which is hard to see from afar, but really it doesn’t create a feel compared to the black and white image next to it. I edited the exposure to be higher to show more light and detail in the image, the black and white creates an old fashioned feel along with the look of the house and other objects in front of the house, gives me an Italy feel.

Although edited images look good and create a nice effect, they don’t show what you was really trying to capture, the black and white images are filters showing the fake version to look good, kind of like everything in life. I like this image because it shows what I wanted to capture in the first place, which is an urban landscape, with something being built in the centre of the image, and power stations in the background. The image also includes a lot of shapes like the light poles for lines and railing etc.
