Mat and I went for a walk today. Having had other things to
do in the morning, we didn’t leave until late afternoon so didn’t make our way
back until the sun started to set.
There is a field, near to where Mat and I live. In this
field, a pond has been built, with a small fence to keep dogs from destroying
the habitat, and seating inside the fenced area. On the way back, we decided to
stop for a rest so sat down next to pond. I looked behind, and could see the
sun setting behind the trees. I loved the pattern of the pink clouds in the
sky, and the bright stripes of colour. I decided to include a tree in the
foreground, as I thought the image would look uninteresting, as there would be
no foreground without this. However, I decided to keep it to one side, as I
wanted the focus to stay primarily on the background.
I increased the contrast and decreased the brightness in
Photoshop, to make sure that all of the foreground detail was lost. I also
decreased the hue and increased saturation to make the pink tones appear more
prominent. I also sharpened the image slightly, to emphasise the individual
branches of each tree and to pick out the individual clouds.
