Landscape Experiments

The first painting i wanted to try and imitate was the Royal Albert Hall painting. i took a few picture from different angles, and i was sure that this was the look i was going for :

i tried to only have a little of the building peeking through the trees, however it looked quite bland. So then i started to take it from different angles:

Then the other paintings i tried to copy were the ones of the parks and the whole idea of the pathways to be the main focus.


But then i found this wider space, with more greenery like the paintings. i tried placing my camera in a more diagonal point of view like one of the paintings but i didn't like the way it came out, so i kept the camera straight in the middle of the pathway, because i felt it stood out more as a landscape framing.

 The last few shots were of the London eye and Trafalgar square. i tried to get up as high as possible to take the picture of Trafalgar to get it as close to the painting as possible, i found that i succeeded the Trafalgar picture first time round however with the London eye picture i felt that it wasn't doing the painting justice seeing as the weather was quite dull and the framing wasn't as accurate as i hoped it would be. Therefore i didn't use the London eye pictures as final pieces.
