To experiment with the images that I have taken I want to develop my work by using photoshop to refine my work. When I realised I wanted to use landscape photography within my work I have been experimenting with documenting landscapes in a panoramic way. I have researched a photographer called Mark Gray who documents his landscape images in a panoramic way.
Although his landscape images are very different to mine I still want to explore this idea of creating a panoramic image. His images go along with the fine art idea of photography because of the colours and composition of his work. His work doesn't document buildings and people within them whereas mine do because I have linked my work very closely to Simon Roberts. I experimented with panoramic shots within my shoots at Tower Hill because I wanted to show a wider view of the location.
These panoramic shots worked well because the images all fit in together well, each image has the right settings so they are all of a good exposure time and the main elements are in focus. The only bad thing with the second panorama is the people are moving so they are blurred but it still works. My images relate closely to Simon Roberts because they both contain people within the images, he uses people as features rather than trying to remove them from the image.
To create the first panorama I took these three images:
The I used the photo merge filter found in File within Photoshop and used the perspective filter to merge all these images, this was the final result:
I also performed the same action with the second panorama, I took these three images:
I used the same filter and settings, this was the final outcome:
Overall, I believe that I have progressed within this area and created a final outcome using a computer experiment that works well for my project. These images both present a refined and developed outcome for British Culture, they also link in with the work produced by Simon Roberts as I already mentioned I have included people within my landscapes similar to how he produces his work.
As well as creating panoramas for my physical experiments I have also experimented with different effects on the images. I have created images using sepia tones and other colour tones...
This shows signs of reining and developing within my work because I have taken my images which were taken in the modern time and presented them as if they were taken prior to colour photography. The atmosphere that is created within these images is a olden time theme because of the sepia effect. I also tried to experiment with different colours to present a modern theme too, I used colours like blue, violet and orange and worked them into the image which also had a good effect. I prefer the images with just the sepia effect because they seem more normal and show how I can develop my work. I wanted to present how time has changed and how the scenery is modernised but using this effect shows how previous photography can have a positive effect on modern day photography.
