Basing my work on Adam Burton's Photography

   About Adam Burton:

  Adam Burton has been working as a full time photographer since 2008, in this time he has released four books and come up with some of the best landscape photography. He specializes in photography in the UK (Southwest England) and has photograph's from five of the seven continents. Adam started to teach himself the techniques of photography in 2001, mainly from reading magazines and putting hi techniques into practice. He has a high demand on his photo's since he started doing photography professionally, since 2004 his photo's have been published wide in newspapers and magazines.  



  Here is one of the landscape photo's captured by Adam Burton. He goes into great detail in his photo's and make them capture quite a defined look. By him doing this it makes his work stand out. He seems to make the most of the natural lighting and uses it to his advantage, by doing this he makes the photo show off what time of day it is and makes it look good. It also looks as if he has edited the lighting to add more of an effect to his photo, this makes it stand out more and look more professional. 

My photos':





  I decided to base my work on adam burton's as i like landscape photography, so this is what i went ahead and did. With each photo i took i then went onto edit the lighting and change colouring to what i felt was needed. In the first photo i changed it to the sepia effect as it resemble's autumn (from the brown colours), so it reflects onto the time of year it is. I also changed the contrast on it, so that it was as bright as the original photo. On the second photo i changed the lighting so that the coloring in it (i.e. the greens ) looked more seasonal too, i feel by doing this it makes the photo have meaning behind it. In the third photo i tried to make it so that the hill stood out more than the sky, giving the photo a sort of 3D effect. I then lightened the clouds in the sky so that it shows off the fact its a nice day in the photo. In the forth photo i didn't do much editing because i felt the original photo already captured the overall look i was going for.  Although i did try and lighten the sky to show off the pink in the horizon.
