in these pictures, i was making similarities to Edward Steichen but with a modern day look, I was making the picture look tranquil but haunting because your not 100% sure what you are actually looking at and i feel like i was successful because in some of these pictures, it looked different in the camera compare when i look a it with a naked eye and usually haunting scenes have forrest or something like that so i have the haunting theme and these picture, i feel like its tranquil because the weather is stunning and the river is so calm it makes it relaxing.
in these Photoshopped pictures, i was trying to make two things, either more tranquil or more haunting. if you look at Edward Steichen's work you can see that i have made some relations with this work and his work. in these pictures i used brush on all of these to have a better effect and more tranquil or haunting feel to it. in two of these pictures, i was using the brush to make a shadow effect, one under bridge and one across the left side of the screen, i did these things because its gave that haunting effect and it looks really good when one part is sunny and the other is shadowed.
in these photoshopped pictures, i was trying to make an illusion of the having massive trees when its just started to grow and i was trying to make an effect of dark blue to make it seemed that its night for the haunting feel. i feel like i achieve that because it does look like its quite dark in the pictures even though you can see the sunlight on the left picture and the illusion is there but once you see the actual picture, you won't see the same illusion again. i think this is the best similarity to Edward Steichen because he had three things in he's picture and so do i, land, tree and sea and i give that haunting effect and that tranquil effect, i feel like i did well with these two pictures and the simply photoshop skills, i made the picture darker with like 50% contrast and i used brush of dark blue and covered the whole picture. i experimented with other stuff like replace colour but this came out the best.
