Long Exposure Sunset - By: Dave Fallis
This is a photograph of a sunset. The photograph is divided essentially in half. The top half contains silhouetted mountains against a cloudy sunset. The bottom half contains a very smooth layer of water. This photograph is really effective in its use of layers. The dark blue clouds in the sky draw your eye to the colliding mountains and sun at the vanishing point. At the vanishing point you see the most colours. The majority of the photograph is deep blue, but at the vanishing point you have pinks and yellows. I really like this photograph because the long exposure creates a very soft textured photo which has a calming effect. I also like the fact that you can only see the outline of the shapes of the trees and cannot actually see any trees or vegetation.
Pre-Sunrise reflection - Dave Fallis
I like this photograph because it is a landscape shot. The most interesting part of this photograph is that it appears upside down, but in actuality it is just a reflection in the water. The mist looks like wispy clouds while the clouds look like waves.
This is a very effective photograph because the eye is immediately drawn towards the deep fog at the top of the photo then your eye takes you down to another layer, briefly to the silhouetted black trees. I also like the layering in this photo because the clouds behind the tree layer gives it an interesting and subtle effect.
Dead Trees - Dave Fallis
In contrast to the other two photographs, this photo is a black and white image, and is very sharp in feeling. This gives it a dreary affect which makes it a lot bleaker compared to the above photos. Like the first photo, this photo is also divided essentially in half. The top half depicts dead trees in sharp focus causing a spear-like effect. The lower layer shows the trees reflected in almost completely still water. The flatness of the water brings out the trees making them more spear-like than the top layer.
