Blog 11 - Local Beach
Yesterday I went to my local beach which is not particularlly attractive and pretty to look at however I discoverd that by carefully selecting angels to shot from, composing my pictures using the rule of thirds and then enhancing the photo colours with Photoshop I ended up with some very interesting and visually appealing photos.

Blog 10 - Sunsets
I love the colours of the sky at Sunset and the resulting silohuette effect given to objects such as trees. I have increased the vibrancy and saturation in Photoshop to increase the effect.

Blog 9 - Shadows
The 4th of April I focused on shadows using both natural and artificial light. Unfortunately due to anti-virus software setting I was unable upload these pictures then.
I love all the lines in this photo - the brick work lines, shadow lins, the line created where the concrete meets the bricks. I also believe the difference in angles from the wall to the ground creates an interesting perspective in this picture. I have edited this picture to reduce some of the white glare in the brick work and enhanced the shadows for a more dramatic effect.
I find this picture very peaceful due to the subtle colour palette. This was taken in my loungeroom late in the afternoon. Very little editing was done to this photo, only the contract increased to emphasise the shadows.
I stumbled across this picture whilst photographing my front garden. I think its an excellent use of the concrete lines to define the rule of thirds in this picture. I love the subtle colour variations from the dark blue tones in the shadows to the orange type stain in the concrete - the result of having mulch delivered on our driveway. I have used the extra layer and soft lift editing process to define the concrete joinery lines and the shadows.
This shot was taken very late in the afternoon in my backyard. Its surprising how ordinary, boring everyday objects can become very visually interesting if composed well in a photo. Once again I used the extra layer, soft light manual editing process to define the shadows. I love that both the clothesline shadow and the planks of wood on the ground present rule of third lines.
Playing around with more focused lighting to create and explore shadow work - this picture having two seperate light sources. I find it interesting how the shadows created from the knife edge and two light sources, have provided a visual reference to the rule of thirds. The detail in the knife edge with light reflecting off it creates a strong focus point for this picture.
