I took these images in late afternoon around 6pm,I took pictures of the landscape around my house, my idea was to take images in late afternoon because it adds a certain mood to it and also it relates to romanticism which was a topic we were recently studying about and I liked how the images are quite dark.

Because I took these set of pictures late afternoon there wasn’t much light so some photos came put really dark.

Favourite images that I took

These were the images that I liked they are all quite dark but that’s something I was looking for, I really like the 1st and 2nd image where all the image is really dark but the sunset is really defined.

editing on Lightroom

I edited this image so the sunset would have more contrast and be brighter, and the rest to be darker so the focus is on the sunset.

I really like this image because since I used a high ISO the image created a more vintage look which since we are studying older photographers I think this image fits really well.

I tried editing it to black and white but I prefer the original one, because of the blue undertone that it has.

This is the original image which I like but I think it would look better in black and white and it also shows more relation to Ansel Adams.

This image didn’t turn out the way I wanted but I still wanted somehow make it work through editing on Lightroom, After trying different contrast, exposures etc, I found that Black and white was the best option for this image.

Analysis

What Is Panoramic Images?

An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip.

Joiner Photos

Joiner photography is a fairly new technique of photography. A joiner, designed by Hockney is when the artist assembles an image from several overlapping photographs. David Hockney is the most notable artist that uses this technique, hence the common referral of joiners as “Hockney’s”

David Hockney

Who was he?

David Hockney is a contemporary English photographer and painter best known for his Lovely panoramic Hockney is well known for his collage-style photographs and his realist painting style. Additionally, his work was very important to the pop art movement.

David Hockney was initially hesitant about the limitations of photography, expressing reservations about its static and singular perspective. However, his appreciation for the medium dramatically blossomed after curator Alain Sayag convinced him to present his work in Paris.

Some of his work

All of his collage work is made by hundreds of individual pictures that by themselves hold very little meaning but put together can create a community of pictures that represent a larger image

A Panoramic image is a technique of taking a photo of what’s in front of you but capturing it at a wide angle. The difference between a wide angle photo and a Panoramic is that a Panoramic usually consists of multiple photos merged together that form a long wide angle strip. This wide strip photo would then show you a expansive view of your shot like with a Landscape it would show the full scenery around you. Wide angle photography in the other hand are different as it typically uses a wide lens that allows you to take a wide angle picture, however wide angle photos have a limit and they cannot capture the amount of detail and area that a panoramic image can achieve.

How do I create a Panoramic Landscape?

To create a Panoramic Landscape you can either take a photo of the landscape with your camera that has a Panoramic mode or if your camera does not contain that mode then the traditional method would be to take pictures of your landscape but making sure you take it from all angles from left to right to top to bottom, making sure you leave enough room for the images to overlap. Once you take all these pictures you can insert them into a program like Photoshop or Lightroom and there should be an option to Photo merge them into a Panoramic image. Then you just adjust the images and edit them to your preference and then you should have a Panoramic Landscape.

David Hockney

David Hockney was a painter and a photographer who was well known for his work and was considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Around the early 20th century he decided to experiment with joiner photographs, these photographs consisted of usually a place or a subject that had photos taken close up instead of far away. By taking multiple close up photos (around 700+ photos) it would then allow him to merge them together to create a full photograph. The difference from a joiner photograph and a full photograph is that joiners allow you to capture details you would never spot on the first time of taking your images. So by taking multiple photos over a span of a few days close up and capturing all the little details and then merging all the photos together you end up creating a piece that not only looks unique but also contains every small detail that is easily viewable which can also make your image look more appealing compared to just a regular image taken from further away where you wouldn’t usually spot those small things.

Rural Jersey:

During this photoshoot I explored Jersey’s rural farming landscape. I took my photos during sunset which heightened the dramatic lighting. The strong light of the sun reflected on the plastic sheets that covered the fields, this added light to both the top and bottom of the frame, creating more balance in the photo.

Exposure:

The strong sunlight allowed for a quick shutter speed. so the sky had a balanced exposure. This fast shutter speed meant that any areas in the foreground (not covered in plastic) were under-exposed, enhancing the dramatic outcome.

Angle / Perspective:

During the photoshoot, I tested different angles to adjust the perspective of the images. During this process, the aperture was adjusted to adjust the depth of field.

details about jersey farming

Jersey’s countryside is a place of beauty, recreation and culture. It is blessed with some of the deepest, most fertile soils, and our climate is perfect for growing most crops. Our beautiful countryside flourishes with wild flowers, and our famous Jersey cows graze on lush green fields for the majority of the year. We know that dairy farming in Jersey has a positive impact on the environment and countryside. And the dairy industry in Jersey is committed to adopting good environmental practice in its operational and capital investment decisions and to operate at the highest levels of efficiency. The total area of land under cultivation at around 36,500 vergées this represents 56% of the island area with its 10,000 farms.

What is a Panorama ?

Panoramic photography is a type of photography, using special equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video.

His joiner photos:

Hockney’s joiners are a fascinating exploration of perspective, time, and space through the medium of photography. This technique involves the meticulous assembly of multiple photographs to create a single, composite image.

The best way to do this is to use a medium focal length lens 50-100 mm, stand in one place, lock the exposure if possible or set the camera to manual so the exposure does not change and photograph the scene. You might start at the bottom left – sweep right then move up and sweep left – and continue until the entire object is captured. Be sure to overlap your images.

Here is my own panoramic photos i have taken

these photos were taken at Harve des par

to edit them, I used Lightroom and went to photo-photo merge – panorama. I then waited for it to automatically merge all the photos I selected together to make a panorama photo.

examples –

how to make –

Select the source images in Lightroom Classic.

For standard exposure photos, select Photo > Photo Merge > Panorama 

For exposure bracketed photos, select Photo > Photo Merge > HDR Panorama to merge them into an HDR panorama.

In the Panorama Merge Preview / HDR Panorama Merge Preview dialog box, choose a layout projection:
Spherical: Aligns and transforms the images as if they were mapped to the inside of a sphere. This projection mode is great for really wide or multirow panoramas / HDR panorama.
Perspective: Projects the panorama / HDR panorama as if it were mapped to a flat surface. Since this mode keeps straight lines straight, it is great for architectural photography. Really wide panoramas may not work well with this mode due to excessive distortion near the edges of the resulting panorama.
Cylindrical: Projects the panorama / HDR panorama as if it were mapped to the inside of a cylinder. This projection mode works really well for wide panoramas, but it also keeps vertical lines straight.All of these projection modes work equally well for both horizontal and vertical panoramas / HDR panoramas.
Cylindrical layout projection for wide panoramas/ HDR panoramas

You can use Boundary Warp slider setting (0-100) to warp panoramas / HDR panoramas to fill the canvas. Use this setting to preserve image content near the boundary of the merged image, that may otherwise be lost due to cropping. The slider controls how much Boundary Warp to apply. Higher slider value causes the boundary of the panorama/ HDR panorama to fit more closely to the surrounding rectangular frame.

Select Fill Edges to automatically fill the uneven edges of the merged image.

While previewing the panorama / HDR panorama, select Auto Crop to remove undesired areas of transparency around the merged image. 


Auto Crop to remove areas of transparency, shown in white in this illustration

To  group  the source images and the panorama / HDR panorama image into a stack (after the images are merged), select the Create Stack option. The merged panorama / HDR panorama image is displayed at the top of the stack.

Once you’ve finished making your choices, click Merge. Lightroom Classic creates the panorama / HDR panorama and places it in your catalogue.

photo analysis –

within this photo u can see what he used many photos within a photo, to create this joiner photos, which he used over 700 separate photos. the artist says about his photos that its a drawing and not a photographic piece. The separate photos for the collage were taken over 8 days ( 11th-18th April 1986). This photo is called Pear blossom highway, as that is where all the photos were taken. Furthermore David Hockney described the circumstances leading to the creation of this photocollage of the scenic Pear blossom Highway north of Los Angeles, his detailed collage reveals the more mundane observations of a road trip. The littered cans and bottles and the meandering line where the pavement ends and the sand begins point to the interruption of the desert landscape by the roads cutting through it and the imprint of careless travellers.

Photographers photographed a landscape in sections and lined their daguerreotypes side-by-side to create one long print, a panoramic photo. They used this technique to document history, and many antique landscapes are incredibly collectible today.

Daniel Wretham a panoramic photographer said:

shooting these ultra wide panoramic pictures really is a joy because they are such high resolution and really show off the image to its full potential, plus they are very forgiving for images in case you want to use different ratios and take sections of the image out to use as individual pictures, for want of a better expression it has the potential to be 3-4 different prints from one image.

Definition

Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75°. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high.

Image stitching

Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image.

Image stitching algorithms create the high resolution photo-mosaics used to produce today’s digital maps and satellite photos. They also come bundled with most digital cameras currently being sold, and can be used to create beautiful ultra wide-angle panoramas.

Other major issues to deal with are the presence of parallax, lens distortion, scene motion, and exposure differences. In a non-ideal real-life case, the intensity varies across the whole scene, and so does the contrast and intensity across frames.

Joiner photos

Joiner photography is a photographic technique wherein multiple pictures are assembled into one. There are two types of joiner photography, photographic collages and Polaroid collages.

You stand in one place and take photos all around you. With a ‘panorama’ you simply swivel and take from left to right or vice versa. To record a greater field of vision you work both up and down and across.

Image analysis

David Hockney’s ‘Pearblossom Highway, 11-18th April 1986, #2’ is a photographic collage that chronicles his road trip on a California highway, CA 138. The artwork is composed of 750 color photographs, offering both the driver’s and passenger’s perspective of their journey.

The image reveals a seemingly mundane scene of a highway with desert vegetation but in Hockney’s interpretation becomes an exciting and vibrant artistic creation. His decision to use hundreds of photos offers the viewer multiple viewpoints by disrupting traditional camera angles; this creates an unusual experience for viewers accustomed to seeing only one fixed angle.

David Hockney described the circumstances leading to the creation of this photo collage of the scenic Pearblossom Highway north of Los Angeles. His detailed collage reveals the more mundane observations of a road trip. The littered cans and bottles and the meandering line where the pavement ends and the sand begins point to the interruption of the desert landscape by the roads cutting through it and the imprint of careless travelers.

“Pearblossom Highway shows a crossroads in a very wide open space, which you only get a sense of in the western United States. . . . [The] picture was not just about a crossroads, but about us driving around. I’d had three days of driving and being the passenger. The driver and the passenger see the road in different ways. When you drive you read all the road signs, but when you’re the passenger, you don’t, you can decide to look where you want. And the picture dealt with that: on the right-hand side of the road it’s as if you’re the driver, reading traffic signs to tell you what to do and so on, and on the left-hand side it’s as if you’re a passenger going along the road more slowly, looking all around. So the picture is about driving without the car being in it.”

Landscapes

Landscape photography commonly involves daylight photography of natural features of land, sky and waters, at a distance—though some landscapes may involve subjects in a scenic setting nearby, even close-up, and sometimes at night.

Romanticism

Romanticism in art and photography is about focusing on strong emotions, nature, and individual experience. It highlights beauty, imagination, and sometimes the mysterious or exotic. Think of dramatic landscapes, powerful moments, and emotional expressions. It’s less about strict realism and more about capturing the feeling of a scene. It involves romanticising certain things like nature or a certain lifestyle. For example, in photography, you might romanticise a landscape by capturing the best scenes only and perhaps putting a feeling of otherworldyness/ nostalgia. When you romanticise something, you make it seem better than it really is; in a way, everything humans think about is romanticised: the grass is always greener on the other side. An example of life being romanticised in our minds is thinking about the life of being an underground artist in New York (think Basquiat) is highly romanticised and the image of it looks really appealing/romantic, but in reality it is quite a hard life to live, and that feeling of romanticism that you get when looking at images isn’t necessarily how that person living that life might be experiencing it.​

romantisicim fact file

• Romanticism placed particular emphasis on emotion, horror, awe, terror and apprehension. Emotion and feeling were central not only to the creation of the work, but also in how it should be read.​
• Romanticism can also have a link with landscape and nature . Landscapes became subjects in their own right and were often charged with symbolism. For romantic artists, nature is a source of inspiration and escape, a refuge from the tumult of the modern world.​
• Who: artist William Blake and the Spanish painter Francisco Goya have been given the name “fathers” of Romanticism by various scholars for their works’ emphasis on subjective vision, the power of the imagination.​
• What: an artistic movement marked by the emphasis on imagination and emotions ​
• Where: romantisicm started In western Europe around the 18th century at this time the artistic and cultural movement was being revived (Neoclassicism)​
• How: With its emphasis on the imagination and emotion, Romanticism emerged as a response to the disillusionment with the Enlightenment values of reason and order in the aftermath of the French Revolution of 1789.​
• Why: Romanticism was born as a reaction against the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. The Romanticist movement celebrated rebellion, sensation, emotion, subjectivity, and individuality and it rejected tradition, reason, rationality, and authority.

The importance of the British painters JMW Turner and John Constable

English romantic painter and water colour specialist , known for is romantic paintings that portray colourful imagery and imaginative landscapes. Joseph Mallord William born 23rd of April 1775 inspired modern art by incorporating a view of impossibility into his paintings by inviting unrealistic colouring and faded scenery to give a sense of romanticism

Sublime

• In the critical literature, “the Romantic sublime” refers to the mind’s transcendence of a natural and/or social world that finally cannot fulfill its desire. Revealed in the moment of the sublime is that the mind is not wholly of the world, but this revelation may be triggered by a particular setting in the world.​
• The sublime as defined by The Tate is : “Theory developed by Edmund Burke in the mid eighteenth century, where he defined sublime art as art that refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation.”​
• The sublime is in most creative subject areas; photography, fine art, film, writing, poetry and many more.
