From Snap Architectural Photography - https://www.architectural-photography.co.nz/ This image Inspires me to do similar images, how the Twilight hour impacts to the south and how the darkened sky allows the light of the subject to be in full view, The different colors throughout the image, with the grass to the left and the water to the right, the Image feels warm and welcoming, My eyes every few seconds keep getting drawn back to the building and how amazing it looks during this time of day. Though one little thing that distracts a little from the building is the light in the pool, it catches my eye and takes me away from the building itself.

I managed to get a great Exposure of the outside, and an okay exposure of the inside, Merging the two photo’s was not the easiest as the tree’s move in the wind and so HDR was out of the question so i went for a layered merge that came out like this, I did some vibrancy and saturation touch ups as it didn’t quite look right

[shotsyshadow]

Set this up on my desk using 3 sheets of A3 paper, a lamp with an A4 paper in a frame to even out the light, ISO was set to 100 and the Shutter speed was set to 2″.

[shotsyshadow]

Used my Nikon D7200 with a 32mm Lens, Took multiple shots changing the Shutter speed to get under, over and good exposed images, could of chose a more stagnant object that did not blow in the wind

[shotsyshadow]

Used a Canon D200 with a EFS 18 - 55mm Lens Inside Shot Set the ISO to 100 F22 Aperture of 1″6 Outside shot

Set the ISO to 200 F22 Aperture of 1/6  Should of Taken the shot of the outside earlier in the day where the sun would of been over the front of the house, however I was a little pressed for time and had some bad luck the following day.

I used a Nikon D7200 with an AF-S NIKKOR 35mm 1:1 Prime lens, the ISO was set to 100 the Aperture was set to F2.2 and the shutter speed was set to 1/13.

I set up a light to be a direct light source for the two images I took and positioned it just behind and to the right of the camera, I took two images of the subject facing different ways, first in front of himself to the left of the image and then looking over above the light source to my right. The photoshop work went amazing and I started off by using a Color blend on the back image then adjusted the curves to darken the image and bring down the highlights before bringing down the saturation by -37 and took the lightness up by +6, I then added a black and white over the top of the base image that's in front and used the eraser tool to remove any additional colors and lines that were left on the Image

Image By Marco Grob, https://www.marcogrob.com/ This really Caught my eye with the way he Used the long exposure to capture his subject looking in two different places, and I feel a certain impact from the subject of this Image with them looking into the camera. However there has been a Line that was either Intentionally or unintentionally left there that kind of takes you out of the Photo, If I were to recreate this I would make sure the line was not there

Made the background Black and White like the images that Sebastiao takes, however I decided keep Eragon (The Focus) In colour to create more of a Focal point, I could have used the Smart select more precisely but overall I am happy with how this turned out

This photo is inspired by the pictures that Sebastião Salgado produces with wildlife (Although this is just a house cat), I want to capture the free nature of the animal that Sebastiao managed to capture with his photo of the leopard swimming through the water, Although I do wish to keep the colour in the photo as I enjoy the dark ginger and blond fur Saphera has..

[shotsyshadow]

This photo from Sebastiao Salgado draws my eyes to the swiming leopard, it reminds me of all the photo’s I take of my cat and inspires me to take more, the lovely patterns on the back of the Leopard draw my eyes and is enhanced with the lack of colour in the photo Photo take from: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjDwKXU77_lAhVFeysKHcCsA4cQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fenvolverde.cartacapital.com.br%2Fem-exposicao-e-a-venda-fotos-ineditas-de-sebastiao-salgado-e-araquem-alcantara-irao-ajudar-na-preservacao-do-pantanal%2F&psig=AOvVaw0Mn_b5xSSxO5fIpDHLJu62&ust=1572383214498456

This photo form Sebastiao Salgado really drew my eyes the built up Ice is a unique shape to the thicker ice on top looking like a Castle or some sort of fortification. Original photo from: https://ascmag.com/blog/johns-bailiwick/sebastiao-salgado-and-the-spectre-of-hope-part-2-genesis

Had the ISO maxed out at 25,600 at f/4.5 and 1/30 Shutter speed
