Autumnal Colours + B&W:
Plans for the shoot:
I don't have any major plans for this shoot, I am just going to take it by chance and see what happens. As I was walking to college today I noticed all the really nice contrasts in the colours of the leaves on the trees, and also how the leaves were changing from green to brown where they were dying, so this is what I am going to focus my shoot on today. I am also going to experiment with the black and white filter after I have downloaded to play with the contrast here.
Shoot Evaluation:
The whole shoot itself was actually really successful and the results were exactly as how I wanted them to come out. The autumnal colours were really effective in the separate images as they were ideal for applying strong levels and curves too, whilst most of them also looked really effective as a black and white image also. I experimented also with the HDR technique I may have mentioned in my research and my project proposal, which worked particularly well with the forestry scenes.
This image is definitely one of my favourites since my initial start on Unit 3 back in September. The image on it's own was nice, but I used a combination of the levels, curves and brightness/contrast options to really enhance the individual colours of the leaves and make them all contrast each other against the grass. What I like about this image also is that it is a perfect representation of the topic of this particular shoot 'autumnal colours' and this would also work as a 'fine art' piece as I find it really beautiful and eye-catching.
This image was initially of two different trees overlapping, the tree on the left had yellow leaves and the tree on the right had green leaves, and together the colours looked really pretty blending together in the middle. However, the colours were more like complimentary colours, which is why I decided to apply a black and white filter to this image in particular, and by then using levels and curves, the tone of the image stands out a lot more than what they used to, and shows a really strong contrast.
