Leeds

I feel this was the most unsuccessful series for me as I seemed to struggle to get any images that i was happy with. I wanted to represent Leeds as a city in a positive way to express how i have settled into living here. I do not feel i have achieved this, however i do think the city skylines images below work quite well visually (although there are still missing something). They represent the different areas of the city and the most iconic buildings in Leeds.





This image is alot more successful. It represents Leeds as a city and all the buildings work well together however it may need something else to make it a little more interesting.


Here i used the liquify filter to distort the layer of coloured letters. I was trying to create something similar to the Nick Knight images in my research. However i am not familiar with this tool and the result is not successful.


I quite like the idea of the image above, however it needs something in the middle to complete it.


The composition of the image above does not work because of the angles the photographs have been taken at.

The composition of the image above is not right. The edge of the town hall is quite distracting and leaves the bottom right corner looking empty.



The above images were created by using threshold and selecting shadows and midtones.
The image above was created using the bitmap technique described in the technical notes. I do not think it works very well, especially with the distracting background.
