landscape photo

In this photograph I stuck to a very basic landscape photo, the picture is taken slightly at a birds eye view tilt at a wide angle shot. I set the camera to manual to help myself have my control over the camera so I could take the photo how I prefer it. 

Because the I took the picture outside at mid day, the camera was set to daylight and on high quality to capture detail and colour perfectly. I also put the auto optimiser on low because there was daylight outside and I didn't want the picture to be over exposed or too bright. When I first look at the picture I see the picture to be empty however if you closely underneath the red wood you can just about see a few people almost hiding from the photo, it makes me think about how sometimes you need to take a second look and look a bit closer in life to see the things you could miss. 

stairs

I took this picture as I liked the way the stairs looked, I took it from a birds eye from the right side towards the left. I think the colours in the picture are very bleak and colourless, the way the stairs flow and curve makes me feel like they lead somewhere important, they remind me of stairs you would find in a film about magical adventures. If the stairs went straight down I don't feel that the picture would have the same effect on the person looking at the image. I also took this picture because I thought it looked interesting and the angle makes the picture abstract. When I took this picture the auto lighting optimiser was set to low. I used manual focus and single shooting. It was set to a high quality jpeg 18M.
