Week 2

This week I am going to look at Landscapes, both land and sea scapes. Most of these will be shot around Cornwall, however I will include some taken the previous week in Bulgaria, of the mountains.


This was shot on the bissoe cycle trail, a very Aresenic rich area with very little life and wildlife. This image has made the 'mars' like trail look green and healthy, however  this is very much the oppisite.  I particularly like how the bush has framed the image, and there appears to be multiple light sources. The bush in the front is well lit, but more on the right-hand side, the bush across the water, is also well lit aswel as the water towards the right. This suggests the light source was to the left, I shot this image at around 4-5 o'clock in the evening, therefore the sun was quite low in the sky, due to this, it has created highlights within the image.



Like many of my images this was shot on a warm evening on Gylly Beach, Falmouth. There are 3 horizontal lines breaking the image up into thirds. The sea is broken up by the parculiar looking person curled around in a blanket with a hat on. I like how within the distance of the image, the image gets darker, the sand is well lit and sharp, whereas the headland on the horizon is shaded and no detail is clear.


Both this image, and the image below were also shot on the Bissoe trail. In the image above you can clearly see the 'mars' like landscape that I have previously commented on, very rich in orange and amber colours, this image creates an interesting contrast to the blues and whites in the sky. I shot this image from kneeling, at the bottom of a bank, therefore it makes the image look really tall and high and empathisis the height of the telegraph pole. I like how the sky almost looks as if it has been multiplied as the clouds look identical but placed one above the other.

This bush, strangely caught my eye, for its unusual shape and symetry. I really like how it has reflected on to the water giving a 'water colour' effect. The symetry in this image has been broken up by the peice of land in the bottom right-hand corner, however I feel this keeps it interesting and not a cache. This image is similar to that of  Andrew Ray's, he has used the water reflections to his advantage, creating almost a horizontal symetrical photograph. Ray's image of Perran Porth
