While waiting for the module to officially start, I took the following shots. The plan was to try out some closer photographs of two of the Hawthorns I had captured previously then experiment with the resulting images.
I initially selected the following image, which I then edited in Adobe Camera Raw.
I then made a quartered mirror image using the edited version in Adobe Photoshop.
Interesting, but will need further experimentation.
During the Group Tutorial on 28 October, my classsmate Sofia suggested I look at the work of Jean-Luc Brouard. This Brighton-based photographer has created a series of night-time tree portraits called Nocturnal Arboreal.
According to Brouard’s website, when not working on commissions, Jean-Luc relaxes by shooting personal projects, the latest of which sees him trekking across the countryside at night for the on-going series.
These well-observed and beautiful images showcase the photographer’s control of light and are quite stunning. The use of long exposure shows an exceptional level of photographic skill. I don’t know whether I would use a similar technique or style for this particular project, but it is great to see the work of an individual who has an equal passion for photographing trees.
