Sense Of Time
Plan
I plan on shooting a day sunset and night image. I will most likely chose the day and night however ill shoot the sunset as they can be beautiful also.

Overall evaluation
I feel this images meets the brief . I lve the lights of Glasgow in the distance in the night image. I love the bright colours in the two images and think the look great together. I think i done a good job of getting the same spot again.
Landscape - Sense of time final diptych
I am really satisfied with how this turned out, I think doing a bit of research on the location helped me get a good spot with ideal lighting fit for the brief. I believe these images convey a different atmosphere and look very different from one another. The use of colour helps impact this as the first image is very bright and inviting, with vivid green grass and a cold blue sky. The second image is much more relaxed, with warmer tones and deeper blacks.
Again this is not what I would have shot in an ideal world, as restrictions are still strict in Glasgow I don’t feel safe travelling far to do my shoot and potentially causing spread of the virus. If I were to change anything I would like to have shots a beach showing a tide coming in, but I'm very happy with the compromise.
Landscape - Sense of time post production
Before
After
In post production I didn’t have an awful lot to do, as the raw images looked really good. I was a bit frustrated that in the 2nd shot somehow I had managed to change the focal length slightly on my lens to make it more zoomed out. This could be corrected in future by having a fixed lens as opposed to a zoom lens.
In the first image I slightly brought down the highlights to give the clouds more detail and shifted the colour balance to make it a bit warmer.
In the second image I brightened it a bit, added some clarity and contrast to emphasise the shadows. I colour shifted the greens to look more orange, to show further change in mood between images. I also had to match the crop to the first image as I mentioned earlier I managed to nudge the zoom to make it a bit wider.

I sat for a couple hours and took intermittent photos during this to show the change over time. Thankfully it was a sunny day and the scene turned out the way I had hoped. The first couple of images look very green, bright, and evenly lit. The later photos look much moodier, with a nice warmer light, which I think looks good in contrast to the colder green-looking photos.
Hopefully when it comes to post-production I can make it clear that this fits the brief and successfully passed.
Landscape - Sense Of Time
My initial response to the brief was to look around for locations that I knew looked different as the day progressed. I had a couple ideas of shooting in my garden, or out my window to showcase a urban enviroment that I could shoot from morning to night and feel comfortable leaving my camera.
I've decided against this and will travel to a country park that's 10minutes away. I've got an idea to shoot a traditional grassy landscape, which should show the sun going down and creating shadows and changing the mood of the landscape, looking much warmer and more inviting than the initial earlier one.
I went a walk and noticed there's trees at this bit which gives a nice shadow onto the field, aswell as sheep which gives you more to look at and adds the image.
I took this picture earlier that day which shows the lighting looking very different. I think I will face my camera in this direction and the sun should set towards the left of the scene, casting long shadows of the trees onto the foreground. I'll take these roughly 3-4 hours apart, so I'm not sat out in a field all day babysitting my camera, but there's still enough time to show a nice change in scenery.
