Assignment 3 - Monochrome
MONOCHROME
My assignment word document, contacts sheets and final 10 pictures are all in my
Dropbox which can be found ... here ...
Here are my final 10 pictures for this Monochrome Assignment.
ISO 400 f13 1/320
These two images, above Hoglands, Henry Moores House, and below the pub, have looked unchanged for years.
ISO 400 f11 1/250
This piece is called 'Knife Edge', the bench gives a sense of scale. And below is a different view of the same sculpture and I have caught two visitors through the gap.
ISO 200 f5.6 1/250
THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :
IMG 7239
ISO 200 f5.6 1/400
I initially liked this picture because its slightly unusual, but it was for that reason also that I held back a bit.
This is called 'Hill Arches' and it is a very smooth sculpture and actually a lovely green colour, you can just see the different shadings.
ISO 200 f5.6 1/250
Work on the grounds continue to keep it looking in top condition. It seemed strange to me that the sculptures were just dotted around, you need to look twice to see this one. 'Figure in a Shelter'.
ISO 200 f5.6 1/200
THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :
IMG 7324
This is still called a Figure in a Shelter, this sculpture has lovely shapes and is beautifully smooth, surrounded by differing vegetation.
This is one of my favourites, just because of the way the light catches it. It is called 'Mother & Child'. Its beautiful and very tactile. The highlights are lovely.
ISO 200 f5.6 1/60
I love this hill top sculpture. The sky is just interesting enough although ideally for this I would have like the sky to have been blue - and stunning. Also ideally I would have liked a sheep in the foreground looking toward the camera. Large Reclining Figure.
ISO 200 f14 1/320
I love the way the sheep are in with the sculptures, here they are all nestled under the 'Sheep Piece'
and here I am grateful for the sheep in the foreground.
ISO 200 f14 1/160
THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :
IMG 7361
ISO 400 f 8.0 1/400
Although I liked the dominance of the sheep in the first picture I can see now that you don't know which one to look at first. This one here is better composition still showing the sculpture and sheep together but all sits a bit more comfortably.
The gardens are very interesting and you find sculpture hidden everywhere, here through the gate you can see 'Upright Motive'..
ISO 400 f 9.0 1/125

Exercise : Colours into Tone - Two
Colours into Tone
Part Two ...
The aim of this exercise is to make use of channel adjustment to achieve a specific effect. I have chosen a portrait and to lighten the complexion without significantly altering the tones of the rest of the image.
For these images I reduced the saturation of the reds and some slight yellow adjustments. I found the yellow made unwanted adjustments to the hair which I didn't want. I was quite please with the results of the skin tone reduction. Im not sure if I would have made this adjustment but it worked for this project. I have also included, as requested, a black and white version of each for comparison.
