This week we were to photograph landscapes but were warned to be careful that we weren't shooting cityscapes by accident. Being in a good sized city and not wanting to drive out into the middle of a cornfield, this presented a problem. I decided to do all of my images down by the river. My landscapes are more like waterscapes, but I like that I have a theme 'flowing' through them all. I took these images on an overcast day and I really like the coloration that I got out of them. They are all quiet and somber, cold and lonely, almost forgotten. I think they are kind of pretty that way. Almost all of the images have a deep field of vision. I played around with the location of the horizon lines in my photos, trying out the 1/3 - 2/3s rule. Many of these images I feel would also look very nice in a very dramatic black and white, but I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the somber color scheme I achieved with the overcast day.
