Photo-shoot: 1
The purpose of this photo shoot was to get some photos which i can photoshop and get a good piece to turn into a final piece or just experiment on.
Photoshop attempt: 1
With my first photoshop attempt I had realised that the two sides of the photo do not match together to meet at the middle. I saw that at the middle top you could see how the sky contrasted in a different colour and the bridge did not meet together with the building which is something I will need to experiment on to solve the problem.
Photoshop attempt: 2
I was attempting to resolve the problem that I had found on my first attempt at photoshop and I think that this looks a lot better than it did the first time. I resolved the problem by duplicating the layer and flipping it so that the bridge would meet perfectly at the top of the image.
Photoshop attempt: 3
I like this photo because it is different to how I have made the other photos. The picture isn't a perfect circle, you can see that the boats are coming out of the circe and where the river is. I like this because its different.
Photo-shoot: 2
The purpose of this photo shoot was to capture some photos with more wild life/nature instead of buildings. I think that the weather wasn't that good but this doesn't matter due to me being able to photoshop the sky out of it. I think that having more nature in the photo gives me a better effect with the 360 panoramic effect.
Photo-shoot: 3
The purpose of this photo-shoot is the same as the previous one. They were both taken on the same day.
Photoshop attempt: 4
`I think this photo was a successful attempt at the 360 panoramic effect. One thing that I like about it is how everything works well together. The whole circle blends together and connects, the trees are coming into the middle of the circle at different heights. One thing that I didn't like about this photo is that behind the trees you can see the original sky which is kind of grey but I still think that it makes a good effect on and around the trees.
Photoshop attempt: 5
One thing I like about this photo is the pathway. like how the pathway is still straight and hasn't been too distorted and that it has kept its shape and direction. One thing that I don't like about this photo is the trees. I think that the trees should have been bigger and taken up more of the photo instead of the sky, but this was something that I couldn't have changed unless I had taken a different photo.
Photo-shoot: 4, 5
The purpose of photo-shoot was to try and gather some photos that I could potentially use for one of my final pieces. I also wanted to capture some of the photos on a sunny day which is why I chose this specific day to do the photo-shoots.
Photoshop attempt: 6 + Artist Replication
I like how this photo turned out due to everything complimenting each other. I think the colour of the sky that I photoshopped makes it look even more like a sunny day as well as I like how well the trees, grass and path all fit in well together. Although the path leads to just the centre of the photo, it still adds to the outcome of it.
Photoshop attempt: 7
One thing that I like this photo is how the grass has its spiralling pattern on it. This was the way the grass was cut and it has caused for a simple, yet effective style. I think that there are too many trees in this photo and not enough buildings which is what i'm going to do for my next photo-shoot.
Photo-shoot: 6
The purpose of this photo-shoot was to get some photos which had more buildings in it. Although in the photos it may seem like there are few buildings and still lots of trees, you will be able to see how I crop and photoshop the photos to make the buildings stand out more. I previously did a photo-shoot which had a bridge in it and I thought that it went well so I also decided to do another one with a bridge.
Photoshop attempt: 8
I really like this photo. I like it because it has a mixture of everything that I have used before in this section. For example, I have the trees, buildings, bridge and a river all in this photo, which would sound like a lot but when you look at the photo you can see how they all compliment each other. I think that this will be one of my final pieces once I have edited it a bit more.
With HDR Toning
This is the previous photo that I used but with HDR toning. The HDR Toning makes everything stand out more and increased the brightness of the photo which I think makes it look at lot better as its bright and has life instead of being a bit dark and boring in the other one.

Final Pieces
Why did I choose these photos?
In these series of photos you can see how the number of buildings has increased. The purpose of this is to show how we have changed the world over the years and that around London there has been a huge decrease in the amount of trees and they have been replaced with buildings. These pieces are showing how landscape has now became urban scape.
