For these image I went down to Havre Des Pas where I started to take photos of the swimming pool which was made on the beach in 1895. I carried on and went round near the edge of the beach where they have more recently made these ginormous electricity and waste structures.
Editing process
For these photos once again 9 used the HDR photo merge because I found that when I change my photos into black and white they turn out a lot more detailed. So I changed the setting on my camera so I had my exposure change every 3 shots so I had balanced exposure over exposed and then under exposed.
Then when you get into photoshop or Lightroom I selected the 3 versions of the photo and right clicked to get the option to photo merge. The select the HDR option where you then get the option of deghost which just help blend the photos better in case they are slighting different.
lastly all then I had to was go into this new image I created with photo merge and I wanted to change it into black and white because felt that it worked better for the artist I was inspired by. This is because out of all the photos he took he only had a handful of his which weren’t actually in black and white.
Edited Photos
I quite like these images I think the two photos above would look better and would work better with the topic of Topographics if they were at a better angle as they are usually taken at a straight on angle like the one on the left. However to best show the effects us as humans have on our natural land the angles I used helped show that.
I think the first one is very successful because you can see especially in the bottom corner of the photo that there is this huge bush with many different kinds of plants and then behind it you have this massive buildings which looks to be a factory with many pipes coming out. The contrast between the two really exaggerates the idea of how humans ruin our wildlife.
I really like this photo as in this image you can see there are 3 different buildings which are all very different the one on the right are brand new flats however they have been designed using old buildings as inspiration then at the back you have the really tall apartments which were built very differently to the ones at the front.
These last two images are from the harbour I wanted to show much us as humans will effect our natural environment we put these big machines like boats into the oceans so we can then take from the ocean. I like this bottom picture because I tried to have the left half of the image looking packed and overcrowded with boats to show and exaggerate my point and then having the right half of the image emptier you can actually see the water as in Robert Adams work he often has both the natural environment next to the human effected section in the image.
Aaron Siskind Inspired photos
I think this first photo would be one of my favourites from my photos where I focused more on Aaron Siskind I like this one the most I think because I have lots of different materials in this small section and having it so zoomed in you can small all those small details like the cracks in the paint where the paint has peeled off the wall. The small markings on the wood probably from water damage.
I think the different textures
