The images which are highlighted green are the images I have chosen to edit, because they portray the New Topographics the best as they display nature and urban areas, such as buildings. These images also have the best composition and focus. The images that are highlighted red are the images I have decided to use for my HDR, as I used exposure bracketing when taking them, so that they would have different exposure levels. The images highlighted pruple are the images I have decided to use for my panaramic image, because I took photos of the landscape, panning from one side to the other.

The next following images were taken at Harve De Pas:
I edited these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy and saturation, while decreasing the exposure, highlights and blacks. I did this, so the images would be brighter.
These images were taken by the pool at Harve de Pas and are images of the beach, with the houses and buildings in the distance. This relates to the new topographics, because it shows nature (the beach) coinciding with the buildings (man-made/ urban).
I edited these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy and saturation, while decreasing the exposure, blacks and highlights. I did this so both images would be brighter and stand out more.
All these images show how man-made buildings have to been placed in nature, which relates to the new topographics.
I edited these images by increasing the exposure (on the first two and decreasing it on the second two), contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy and saturation, while decreasing the highlights and blacks, so that the image would be brighter and so the colours would stand out more.
This image shows how buildings and urban areas surround and coincide with nature areas, such as this beach. This relates to the New Topographics.
I edited these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy, saturation, while decreasing the highlights and blacks, so that the colours would be much brighter and stand out more on the building.
These images show the natural environment (the beach) coinciding with the urban man-made environment (the building) which relates to the new topographics.
I edited this image by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy and saturation, while decreasing the exposure, highlights and blacks, so that the image had better lighting and wasn’t as bright, so that it would be more visible.
This image shows how man-made urban structures like the buildings in the distance coincide with the nature, the trees and beach. This relates the the New Topographics.

These images were taken on the field at Highlands:
I edited these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, vibrancy and saturation, while decreasing the highlights, exposure and blacks. I did this, so the image and colours were brighter, so they would stand out more.
This Image shows how urban man-made buildings can coincide with nature and natural environments, which the trees and surrounding grass show.
I edited these images by decreasing the exposure, highlights, blacks, while increasing the contrast, whites, shadows, vibrancy and saturation. I did this, so the colours and image would be brighter and stand out more.
These images show how buildings, such as the hut exist in natural environments, such as this grass field.

These images were taken near and at La collette
I edited both these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites and vibrancy, while decreasing the exposure, highlights and blacks. On the first photo I also decreased the saturation, but increased it on the second photo. I did this, so the photos would be brighter and more eye capturing. I especially did this on the first photo, so that the clouds were white, instead of a light grey colour and so the blue in the sky could be seen.
Both these images show man made buildings, such as the large building in the first image and the fence in the second. These images also show a natural environment as well, such as the grass hill and path. These images support the new topographics, because they show harmony between the man-made and natural landscapes and how they can coincide together.
I edited this image by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites and vibrancy while decreasing the exposure, highlights, blacks and saturation, so the tower would be more bold and stand out more against the sky, which was also made more blue.
Then, I made a black and white version of this photo, by creating a virtual copy of the final edited picture and selecting black and white. I did this to increase the contrast between the tower and the sky and to make the photo more eye capturing.
This image relates to the theme of New Topographics, because this image presents how man-made urban landscapes can be beautiful and photographed in the same way that natural landscapes are.
I edited this image by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, saturation and vibrancy while decreasing the exposure, highlights and blacks. I did this, so the building would be bolder and stand out more as it is more vibrant and has more contrast.
Then, I created a black and white version of the final edited image, by creating a virtual copy of the edited image and selecting it to be black and white.

I edited this image by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites, saturation and vibrancy while decreasing the exposure, highlights and blacks. I did this, so the graffiti and grey box building would have more contrast.
Then, I created a black and white version of the final edited image, by creating a virtual copy of the edited image and selecting it to be black and white.

I edited these images by increasing the contrast, shadows, whites and vibrancy while decreasing the exposure, highlights, blacks and saturation. I did this, so the sky would have less exposure and therefore look more blue. I also did this, so the mountain and buildings would have more contrast and be more defined as they have less exposure, so that they capture the viewers eye more.

Final Images
Panoramic
These are the images I have taken to create my panoramic photo. I have chosen to use these images, as they pan over the whole landscape, so are perfect for a panoramic image.
Final Panoramic Image
How I did it
First, I selected my pictures chosen for my panorama on Lightroom and selected photo merge and then panorama. Once my image was made, I then cut the jagged edges of.
HDR
These are the images I have chosen to create my HDR images, because I have taken three different images of the same landscape, but with three different exposures. One with regular exposure and one too high and one too low.
Final HDR Images
My first HDR image consists of the Lido building at Harve de Pas.
My second HDR image consists of the tower and building in the distance across the beach, near La Collette.
How I did it
First, I selected my three images, then selected photo merge, then HDR. Then, I chose whether I wanted high medium or low exposure. I chose high for both.
