Computer Experiments
Liquify:
I think this effect makes images instantly more abstract, even if it is only slightly used, that is because it completely distorts the layout, measurements and proportions of the picture. Previously I have used it on the face of a portrait but I think this makes the portrait just too abstract, too unrecognisable, so in this example I used it on a landscape portrait picture, on the complete background, avoiding the subject. I think this has a connotation of distortion in the mind, that is represented visually. I like the way this draws attention to the subject, as the things in the background just become merged together.
Black and White:
The black and white filter is one I am very fond of. I think removing the colour of a picture is very effective, especially in building a serious or low-spirited atmosphere. I like how this connotation works together with her expression, the fact that she is looking down and playing with her hands, portrays sadness. So this works with that atmosphere.
Selective Colour:
I really like how this picture turned out, I think the fact that the whole picture is in black and white but the light is still in colour, emphasises the light. It makes it stand out a lot, becoming the main feature of the picture.
Duo Tone:
I like the idea of duo tone however I think it is more suitable when the colour is very relevant to the picture, I don't think this example worked very well because it seems a bit random; I don't think this process added much meaning to the picture or change any connotations.

Composite Image Bank
I like this picture because whilst it is clearly an unrealistic and surreal picture; the way the picture has been put together so carefully, and the way it has been edited, the elephant really looks like it belongs in the picture; it doesn't look unrealistic, it is just the concept that is unrealistic.
This one is very ethereal and fantasy based, it is a manipulated landscape. I like the colours used, this creates quite a magical atmosphere as they are colours we don't usually see in the sky. The dark tones build a mysterious connotation. This sort of picture reminds me heavily of fantasy and sci-fi movies.
This one shows a road with someone swimming who has been edited into the puddle. I think this is quite a clever idea and concept that the photographer has managed to bring to life in a good way. It looks very surreal as we know how unrealistic this is. I like how this picture shows direction and depth through the yellow line and the road, it gives a path to follow.
This picture shows a man who appears to be ripping open his skin and thus revealing a superman costume. This is clever because of how it shows the reverse and opposite to how hero's costume traditionally work. Because of how superhero's normally rip open their costume to show the skin underneath, the man beneath the hero, however this shows a different message, like underneath the man, there is a superhero, it is who he is, his identity. I really like how he is looking straight into the camera, this makes it seem very powerful, he appears to have a lot of strength and confidence.
Landscape Definition
Landscape:
All the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
Landscape Photography:
Landcape Photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographers typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made or disturbances of landscapes.
