Composition: I formed my compositions from urban spaces that were in general states of decay. Both images are shot in a way that shows perspective as you move through the image. I drastically increased the concept through the use of the HDR generator in bridge. I am not pleased with the over the top appearance of these images. The level of detail in the images appears fake, and I feel I could have made these HDR images more successfully.
Concept: Conceptually, I just wanted to emphasize the grit and decay associated with these spaces using HDR, other than that, they were just an experiment in using this process.
Method: I created each of these images from 7 different bracketed exposures. I merged them in bridge using the HDR tool. I found it slightly confusing to make the adjustments necessary for making a decent image.
Motivations: My goal for these images was to highlight the entropy in these places and bring attention to the decay happening in these environments. I feel this can be seen most successfully with the moss growing on the stairs of the second image.
Interpretations: I feel that these images are fairly straight forward and more experimental than anything. There is not too much to interpret.
Evaluation: I am happy with the spaces I chose to shoot but am not happy with the general level of contrast in these images and wish they did not look so fake.
Extension: I would like to practice working with HDR again in the future just to get the technique down, but would prefer to make photographs in another way.
