In photography I have borrowed a camera and took many pictures, of which I have picked out six that I like. I have edited and transformed the pictures to make them stand out and suitable for a magazine. My pictures fall under the category, urban landscape. This is because they are all very detailed and close up, they are difficult pictures to put into a given category so the urban theme makes them different.

My first picture is of a bungalow with a tree centered between it. I took this picture because it was an interesting landscape. I thought it would capture  certain heights to show a big building and a detailed tree. I have also edited this picture to make it stand out more. I have made the brightness low and the contrast slightly high to show the cool effects.

My second picture I took is of a bridge in the middle of the woods, this picture looks really eerie and sets a haunted scene. Around the edges of the bridge you can see plants and leaves and all the colours are very dark. You can just slightly see the bridge which makes it difficult to understand the full meaning of this picture. You have to look in depth at this image to find out the importance of it.

My third image is of some bushes and plants but with a huge wooden hand in between the leaves. I took this picture because it is definitely  interesting and I thought it looked really cool. I have edited this picture, I have toned the greens up and made everything different tones of green. There is a post at the front too which makes it look big compared to the bushes, there is also a post in the far distance. You only see half the hand as well, just the fingers, this picture could come under a weird category.

My fourth picture is a tree which has red berries on. when I took this picture is was really dark and the red was very faint so I edited it to show the berries up, and they are now bright red. This tree stands out alongside a main road  and a building. The main road, car lights are blurred which looks really good.

The fact that the tree is bright and lit up and the background is pretty much, black, looks spooky. I took this picture and the tree is very landscape and because of the lights from the cars in the background stand out.

My fifth picture is looking upright at a tree really close around a lamp post. You see leaves which take up most of the image except for one corner which is black and cloudy. I have edited this image to make the lamp post light pink and yellow. The leaves were golden brown, yellow, green, dark brown and orange. I took this picture because I loved the colours and the effect it gives to people but now I have changed the colour of the leaves to black, green, orange and grey to give more effect as this is now really different. It falls under the same category as my other pictures, which is scary/horror.

My final image is looking upright at a tree in the woods. This image is not the same as the previous image I took. This tree has a wide bark and more branches. Looking upwards, you see more leaves in the distance just going on and on but in a faint way. I edited this picture to turn it negative but then added slight orange and purple into the leaves. The bark is softly green and glowing.  This is an eye capturing image because it is bright and definitely attracts attention.

All my images do link to horror but for a magazine it could be for urban landscapes such as ‘Harlow at Night’ or ‘Dangerous Places’. These images could also be used in Architectural magazines but to show scary places.
