Natural Landscape 

 I took this picture in formby pine woods on a clear day. From a low angle and the camera facing upwards, I got as close to the tree as I could and faced the sky. I concentrated on the texture of the bark and the shapes it created. In the background the layers of the leaves are interesting as it gave a patterned section leading you back into the main focus of the tree. The clearness of the bright blue sky stands out and creates a warm atmosphere. The composition is structured due to the object being directly in the centre of the page.

 Another photograph I took on the same day, but a different scene was on the beach in the open wind. I walked straight up to the tide to capture the layering of the sea, and the rough textures it created as it drifted into the sandy beach in front of me. I focused on producing a high horizon image, showing the sky in the background meeting the waves. I have captured the different layering of the water from the calmness of the foreground, with the movement of the bubbles sitting on the top, to the darker and harder toning in the background showing you the deeper harsh tones.

This is one of my favourite images as the sun brings the picture alive, clearly showing the light and dark. The brightness of the sun is powering and controls the picture. The trees stand tall and close together, in the foreground you can see the shadowing beneath the trees shooting in the same direction along the hills. There is alot of movement in the picture, showing us the atmosphere in the pinewoods that day. The bottom of the image is deep toning but moving up to the top of the picture the toning changes, you can see the greens coming alive making the photograph stand out.
