In this shoot I intended to capture the orange and reds of the sun setting over the woods of Shipley Park with the initial idea of them being fairly warm looking images.
-Having had done some research into different approaches to 'Low Light' photography, I did a shoot in Shipley Park using the setting sun as my low light source.
-I quite liked image 58 for the composition of the tree and the sun just behind it's trunk however, it wasn't striking enough for me and lacked the orange colours of a sunset.
-Images 62-64 stood out more than most of the other tree photos due to the bright, burnt orange light shining on the trunk of the tree in the foreground.
-Image 82 is the most effective in my opinion as you have the deep red plant growing up the building in the background and the orange/brown colour of the bench in the foreground. These two colours work really well together and could look even more effective if they were intensified.
-Because I wanted to bring out the colours in the bench and the plant growing up the building, I saturated them making them more vibrant. But with having increased the colour temperature, the colours would have been to bright so I toned down the saturation a little.
-To produce the final image I darkened the edges of the photo to create more of a focus on the bench as I was aiming for it to seem fairly lonely and sad.
-I intensified the orange sun light as that is what makes this image. By darkening the shadows it has allowed us to see the different shades of the bark on the tree in the foreground, giving it more depth and is more interesting to the eye.
