Fourth shoot edits

This is 3 pictures edited in different ways. The top left and the right are the original 2 pictures with one blended to lighten and one blended to darken. This created a light and dark image so most the dark clouds were visible in the dark section and all the light clouds visible in the light setting. Then I experimented with an idea to see if blending both the darken and lighten would create a different effect. This produced the bottom left picture. This is a big contender to be one of my best edits of this shoots.I think that this picture shows off the sun set that happened with all the colours and motion in it. The colours of both the lighten and darken can be seen in this picture and it shows highlight in the cloud which is where the attention is drawn to in the picture. This has captured what Matt Molloy does with his work. His work has influenced me with how I use post-production software to change the view point of the picture. Although with some more time I could produce better pictures, like this. 

This picture was taken after the sun had set, which enabled me to capture the after burn of the suns light hitting the clouds. This captured the motion of the clouds moving across the sky. It also blended the darker clouds which is why i gained a deep purple on the top of the picture. I am drawn to the bench in this picture, this is because it stands alone in a vast sky. The bench has been doubled up due to some camera shake, which would have changed the sky as well, but was unable to identify the frame that had a different bench position. This is something I will need to look at if I do it again, use a timer or a remote with a better position for my trip-pod. So I don't get frames that are different.

This picture is of the sun setting and I stopped just after the sun had disappeared under the horizon. This is an interesting edit with the sky and the water being effected by the time stack. The clouds are a blend of the sun setting and all the colours that the sky had to offer. It wasn't as good as some of my other shots but the interesting part is the water. It looks extremely smooth. This is the opposite to what happens to the sky, It looks still and calm compared to the motion in the sun and sky. The sun is a very dominant feature in the picture. Slightly over exposed but it really draws your attention, especially with the reflection of the light in the water which is also a blend of the light from the sun setting.

This last one is where I have tried to compose the shot more than the others. I spent more time looking at the 3rd rule and having a subject. The subject was the rock which is covered in green moss and is very damp as it is covered in water a lot of the time. The pictures were taken after the sun had set so I captured the light after the sun had gone. This gave the effect of a slowly changing gradient of colour in the sky. The clouds were not as successful as the other pictures with the capturing the motion. This is something i would like to combine in my next shoot with time stacking.
