For
the core project, I have decided to do a project based on Northern Landscape.
This will have between 3-5 sets of photographs including one rural and one
urban landscape. This project will be submitted for selection for Landscape
North exhibition and also be entered into the Yorkshire business event.
•For
the northern landscape project, I have chosen to feature the recurring theme of
night photography. I have chosen to feature this as I have previously completed
a project about night photography and evolved a passion for the subject. This
would also be a good opportunity to improve on this subject. One way to improve
is I now have access to a tripod, which previously I did not have. Another way
to improve is in the last subject, my white balance was under exposed, and I
now understand more about improving this to create a correctly balanced image.
•To
the create the night photography, I will use a tripod and a Canon 1000D camera,
with a 18-55mm Lens. I will not use
flash, And instead will use a slow shutter speed of 20-30 seconds. I will also
vary my shots between late afternoon with a small amount of light, night with
minimal light and also night with street lights.

night photography work. Shot at swillington canal.
•Although
I am doing a landscape subject, I also want to add a documentary approach to my
images. This will feature a journey.
•My
concept is, That a person has grown up in the country side surrounded by fields
and empty landscapes. However, The person wants to move to the city were it is
much busier and lively. However, after seeing the dirty grim streets and vastly
populated living areas, they begin to miss the country side.

Urban landscape- Luca Tommasi, A
changing china. Country landscape-unknown. Using a decreased aperture To darken
to image.
•My
project is going to be presented as a projection and also as a short book.
Also, It will feature in a exhibition which is mandatory. I have chosen these
formats as I firstly think the projection will easily show details in the
images due to the projections size and also will signify the vast size of the
landscape.
•I
chose to make a book as it is a quick way to view all images and can be carried
around so it can be looked at and compared to others work. It is also a
professional way to present the images and has been used by previous artists to
present there work. I have also presented images using books in the past,
including making a home made book to present by previous night photography
Images. Although I would choose not be create a home made book in the future as
it broke easily and looked amateur.
•When
I have shot the images, I am going to edit them using Photoshop and primarily
using curves and levels. I am using these edits as I think they look the most
natural as I do not like to over edit images.
•Below
are night photography shots edited using curves and levels on Photoshop. These
images were part of my location techniques final piece. They were shot by a
cliff in Skipsea.
•Urban
landscapes- Mike Seaborne.
•A
large industrial city like London presents a complex man-made landscape in
which generations of social, domestic and industrial forces have shaped the
environment, each leaving its mark and adding to the complex patina. London's
particular complexity arises not only from its size but also from an absence of
central planning and from an historically diverse economy. Like many other
photographers he
has thought how
he might
try to capture the essence of London in a few images only to realize
that
such an ambition is impossible to fulfill. Instead, we are compelled either to
focus on a particular location or subject, or to generate coherence
by
imposing a particular representational style. He has attempted both these approaches in my
work. He
features some night photography in his work. Info taken from www.Urbanlandscape.org.uk.
