Hello Hello Hello, welcome to the blog of undesirables. Fail blog, B roll, whatever you want to call it this is where the photos that didn't make it are going to go.
Who knows they may have a good idea behind them but terrible execution or it may be perfect execution of a horrible idea. Also look for things like bad edits and other lapses of my better judgement.
I know this sounds bad but it's going to be a good learning experience and I'm actually quite looking forward to it. It will be an anonymous blog and I hope that it will get lost in the interwebs, because the truth is its only here for me myself and I.
That being said here's a great idea with horrible execution. Massive potential but a horrible fail on my part. I love the gradient of the color and how the head of the dandelion is above the horizon and there is still definition in the grass below but... the seeds are blown out and lost in the background, completely ruins the image. I need to go back and work on my macro lighting, definitely needs a rim light but I don't want to lose the twilight feel of the background.
So what do you do if your light sucks and your colors are terrible? Make it black and white! I hate that, don't ever do it then say you changed it to black and white and give a bs artistic reason. If your going shooting and are planning to post process black and white thats cool though. The lighting on this was terrible, I definitely hit the timing too late and therefore those beautiful fall colors were nonexistent to my camera. But composition is okay, most likely will try again and hopefully get something better. But until then here is the black and white(for the record absolutely no artistic motive for the post processing):
Standard landscape, nothing interesting at all, the composition is way too linear/stacked for my liking. Colors do have potential if a different angle/composition is found:
Going for the soft sea of brush in this shot. Give me some more definition, I need shadows and some contrast that somehow lead into a softer background. I feel like I'm looking at a rice krispy treat when I see this photo:
Last and certainly the most least, your leaves water droplets photo. Shot so much and so played, especially an angle like this. Thats okay though because I have an image from this shoot that a really like, it is definitely not your standard. But this is The Bad, The Ugly, and the Horrible so here is an example of what to try and stay away from when shooting that leaf water droplet photo:
It feels good to have posted these, I'm ready to go and shoot these photos right, forget about these images and move on.
As for inspiration this trailer has greatly touched my mind and given me new ideas not only for shooting landscapes and nature but also action sports.
