Task 1b) Creating conventional & abstract landscape photography
By Kirsty Richardson
Conventional landscapes shows the world and can capture nature or manmade features.
Abstract Landscapes are something that you can't identify straight away and usually uses shapes in an unusual way.
Here are the images I took that I think are Abstract/Conventional landscapes and reflect the 4 themes.
Abstract
Before Edit
Glass
I wanted to get a little bit of the sky in the background, mainly blue as I think it represents the colour of glass event though it is transparent. The building is blue with all of the glass panels reflecting from the sky. The challenges I faced trying to capture this picture was that it was really bright so I had to make sure that I could capture all of the detail and it wasn't over exposed. This image is abstract as the building is an unusual abstract shape and the image shows a lot of lines used in different ways.
To achieve this picture, i had to make sure that the ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture were set correctly so that the picture wouldn't over expose. I had to take this picture a few times as it kept over exposing and you couldn't see the glass properly. This picture has turned out how i wanted it to, however I should've tried to make it darker using the f stop and ISO so that you could see more detail of the sky in the background.
Editing process using the Tone Curve in Photoshop.
After Edit
After
For this image, I used the tone curve tool in Image/Adjustments in Photoshop to make the glass more of a stronger blue colour and less transparent. I wanted to crop in the photo to make it look more abstract and less like a building. You can see the sky a bit more with this photo as the stronger blue stands out, but you can make out clouds if you look closer.
I wanted to use tone curve as I only wanted to slightly make the colours stronger. I made the tone curve to look like a slightly S shape so it wouldn't make it look too over exposed or under exposed.
