My previous post was about random ideas coming together. This one is about a bit of focus coming together randomly. Sort of.
I'm a landscape photographer so I do like natural scenes and beautiful natural light. Being able to create that without leaving the house is both fun and challenging.
The first image is a very simple landscape of lines and gradients with a pretty much a dual colour palette. I love the perspective created with mountain ranges and this is a very simple technique to put together. This image was my second attempt at this wolf and moon scene and you can probably see the improvement and greater attention to detail. It's by no means perfect but I like the clear progression from one to the other.
My first go at this kind of scene...
This next one was based on photos from the Faroe Islands...
A snowy mountain scene...
This is one of my favourites. As basic as it is it was very difficult trying to make it look like a diorama made by a kid. I tried to make it look "realistic" as if it was cut out with paper or card and roughly stuck together. As small a detail as it is I really liked the look of the birds and the sun and the shadows that make them look like the paper isn't stuck evenly on the backdrop. The cave was the final addition that to add more depth and detail.
My reasoning with this was to make it not perfect. That the unevenness would make the realism more believable.
