Photo Analysis

This photo was taken by Ed Collacott who specialises in landscape photography,and is taken in the Lake District. The main subject of this photo is colour and symmetry, the vibrant blue sky stand out in this and compliments the orange and browns in the landscape. The rolling hills also gives a large sense of depth as there are blurred sections in the distance and also the v-shaped valley gives a focus point and gives composition. Symmetry is also a large part in this and plays tricks with the eye as it almost looks like the lanscape carries on at the bottom of the picture but instead its the lake. The natural symmetry is pleasing to the eye and gives the picture balance. The mood of the photo is very happy with the bright colours  reflecting life and growth.          

Photography Analysis

This photograph was taken by Peter Watson who is an award winning landscape artist, it is taken in the Scottish Highlands in Glen Coe. The main aspect in this is light and how it seeps through the dark landscape and mountains, which has been critically timed to catch the right light. The image overall has a lots of drama and is very contrasting with the dark and bright colour which give such a visual impact. The content of the photo almost has a sense of freedom with the towering mountains and the vast free land that's been untouched. Overall the photos very natural and organic using natural shapes by the mountains creating dynamic heights.

Final Images

This worked well and fits with my landscape theme and the picture is the back of a person looking into a distnace and the crop field has lots of depth.

Tilt shift

I found this silt shift looked effective because it shows the dynamic lines of the spiders web and draws the eye to the centre. The blur also has a dreamy feel to the photograph, and the frosted web gives it a cool atmosphere. If I did this next time i would link it  to my theme and try it with landscape photographs. 

I have also edited a picture further and made it monochromatic which adds more drama to the picture and the blurred background again shows the detail of the melting frost. The angle the picture has been taken at also gives depth and the many lines further add depth and a focus point.
