Today was actually the first day I took this well known short cut into Derby City Centre, I immediately recognised the photo opportunity. My aim today when I set out was to try and find something old and derelict which I could transform into something relatively contemporary via the use of digital means.
With the use of colour refining and a panoramic image I think I achieved my goal. I feel I have proved that it does not take modern design, architecture and corporate funding to create a contemporary scene.
I chose to over expose the sky when converting my RAW images for a few reasons, I wanted the main subject to be the foreground with no distractions in the sky whatsoever, the sky wasn't exactly interesting at the time, it was rather overcast but still I decided to blow out the sky to white because I wanted no distractions whatsoever, no matter how simple. Another reason for this decision was because I knew how much easier it would be to stitch together to create the panoramic image, the clouds could easily have moved whilst I shot the series of images and that could have had the possibility of increasing my editing time.
Via the use of a couple adjustment layers I was able to give the impression that the plants are becoming part of the art on the wall.
