In this specific photograph, I believe that the picture could look interesting with contrast such as giving the artificial intelligence words to create such as “drought”, “desert”, “dried up” or “emptiness”. This contrast works well with the topic of Anthropocene as it could present how the future may look for the dam if the water continues to run out progressively.
In the image above presented the intelligence worked well with the image and created what result I wanted despite it showing the results of dryness and drought, I believed that the lower ground approach would have been more effective due to its ingratiating/decreasing in level.
The images above are my artificial intelligence photos of the different results, I feel as though the different outcomes look very realistic as indeed the reservoir could be predicted to look like those outcomes if environmental changes continue to affect the planet in ways like these:
In the print screens above I took inspiration from the topic Anthropocene and its response on the planet to create a dirty and polluted area in the waters as generally, the ocean is contaminated all around. I selected the areas necessary that I thought looked the most lifelike and inserted connotations and ideas of muckery, dirt as well as dangerous environments of potential risk.
I believe that the bright plastic contrast to the rest of the simple and timid coloured photograph looks unique and interesting almost as a piece of art as the plastic due to its bent form in a sort of collage looks almost even if it’s extremely damaging.
In this photoshoot I experimented with taking photographs near Corbiere. I believe that taking photographs in this particular location is good as it captures the landscape well, including the different textures of the rocks on the cliffs, the rock and different colours contrasting to the water below looks interesting and brings the audience into the scenery as each element appears.
It also looks appealing when the photographs are taken at a high vantage point as well as the photograph gives the viewer a view they may not see normally.
In these photographs I believe that more of the colour adds to the textures as in the brighter colours such as the yellow and green the textures and different
I have presented my contact sheet, in this photoshoot I focused on getting a perspective including the greenery, the rock element and the coast so that sand and waters.
I believe that including the black and white feature in the photograph plays well with the outcome, the darker elements of the photograph look even more dramatic.
As a class, we will be going on a walk from Havre Des Pas to La Colette to take photographs of landscapes, inspired by The New Topographics. I am going to aim to take photos of how urbanisation has transformed the landscapes of Jersey. For example, La Collette area is very heavily urbanised, therefore, I am going to try take some photos there.

I took these images using exposure bracketing in order to ensure that I get the correct exposure and to practice the technique.
Image Selection
As there were many images for me to sort through, I started off by labelling all the good photos yellow so then I could go back through the set of the yellow images and label the ones that I wanted to use as green.

Edits
Photos I have left unedited:
I didn’t edit this image because the sky is very over-exposed so if I were to lower the contrast or highlights it would make it grey. On the other hand, I think this is a very effective photo as it shows development being done on the beach.
The following images I didn’t edit as I was already satisfied with how they looked.
Edit 1
I edited this photo by slightly decreasing the exposure and cropping the sides.
Edit 2
All I did to edit this photo was crop and rotate it. I rotated it so that the roofs of the buildings were horizontal to make the image look better.
Edit 3
I edited this image by lowering the exposure, vibrance and highlights as it was a little too saturated then increased the texture to make it more detailed. Finally, I cropped the edges.
Edit 4
I edited this image by, firstly, lowering the exposure and increasing the texture then cropping it. After this, I used the brush tool to select the apartment building as in the original image it was quite blurred, therefore, I did what I could to minimise this.
Edit 5
I edited this photo by, firstly, lowering the exposure, highlights and vibrance as I wanted the image to be dull to show how infrastructure has impacted the beauty of the nature. I then increased the texture and slightly rotated the image.
Edit 6
All I did to edit this image was make it B&W then lower the exposure and contrast so that tones of the sides and bottom of the balconies contrasted. I then finished this off by slightly cropping the bottom.
Edit 7
I edited this photo by slightly increasing both the exposure and contrast and making it B&W.
Edit 8
I edited this photo by making it B&W then slightly decreasing the exposure and increasing the contrast as I wanted the rock to display a gradient of different tones.
Edit 9
I edited this photo by, once again, slightly increasing the exposure and contrast. After this, I faintly rotated it.
Edit 10
I edited this image by lowering the exposure and clarity and increasing the contrast and texture as I wanted the picture to appear more detailed with the edges of the stone. After this, I then slightly cropped the top and left to get rid of the area in the corner.
Edit 11
To edit this photo I started off by increasing the exposure and contrast to make the chimney more visible, however, the sky became quite over-exposed so I lowered the highlights. After this, I finished off by rotating it slightly so that the chimney was vertical.
Edit 12
I edited this photo by making it B&W, lowering the exposure, increasing the contrast and highlights then slightly rotating it.
Edit 13
I edited this image by, simply, making it B&W then decreasing the exposure and increasing the contrast.
Edit 14
I did the same for this image as I did the previous, however, I also rotated it.
Edit 15
All I did to edit this image was crop and rotate it as I was happy with how everything else looked.
Virtual Gallery/Evaluation
These are my final images which I had taken during the photo walk. As you can tell, there is a variation of different scenes displayed, however, I personally think that they all link to the New Topographics as they all show how Jersey has been developed over time.
For this first photoshoot I went to St Brelade and took landscape photographs around the Bay area. This photoshoot overall turned out pretty good I got some good images, whilst taking photos at St Brelade there were horses on the beach which I also captured and came out pretty well.
Below are my best images from this first location after having experimented in lightroom and photoshop.
HDR/Photo Merge
HDR/Photo Merge
Overall i think the photoshoot in this location was very strong. For this photoshoot i focused on the compositioning and the positioning of my camera. I edited some of my photos in to black and white, inspired by Ansel Adams style, this made the images look old fashioned whilst also highlighting the contrast in the landscape.
Photoshoot 2 – Sand Dunes
For this second photoshoot I went to the sand dunes, this photoshoot did not turn out as well as i wanted it to. I did not go into the sand dunes and just stayed on the outsde of the sand dunes.
Below are my favourite images from this location.
This photo was edited in the style of Ansel Adams, i decided to use this image in specific because the pathway reminded me of the river which Ansel Adams captured. I put this image into monochrome and increased the blacks and the contrast to give it a more mysterious look.
Photoshoot 3 – Plemont
For this third photoshoot I went to Plemont to take some landscape photos, these are my best images after experimenting in lightroom and photoshop from this location (plemont). I turned two of the images into monochrome into monochrome to match Ansel Adams.
HDR/Photo Merge
Overall i think i got some strong outcomes from this location. I really like how these two images turned out below. I used exposure bracketing during this photoshoot which allowed me to create images which look unrealistic in lightroom by using Photo Merge/ HDR. I also like the other photo in sepia tone i really like this image because it is captured with no people around and the clouds in the background make the image very dramatic.
