About eighteen months ago I went for a drive down to Cape Schanck to check it out.  I’d never been there before, and I loved what I saw.  After looking at Peter Eastway’s work again, I thought I might try doing a couple of the photos again to see how I would approach them now.

To see the original images, then go to the post, Trying to Make Decisions.  The images I decided to do were the fourth and fifth ones.

I opened the image up and wondered what I was going to do to it, but I worked it out some.  I changed the sky and did something to it that I saw Peter do, well what I think he did.  I tried to highlight certain parts.  You will have to judge for yourself if it actually works.  I am not so sure about the sky.

You can see the original there, well the original as I processed it when I first did the image.  I do like the intensity of the colours in the new one, and the cropping has made it a tighter image.  The lone rock also looks so much closer.

I do like how this one turned out.  Again, not sure about the sky, but I like the foreground and how it leads your eye into the image.

The rocks stand out so much more and there is a lot more drama in the image.  It almost looks stormy, which it wasn’t.

So, have I improved, well I hope so.  I think there are good and bad things with these images, but it is nice to know that there are lots of possibilities these days.  I know that Peter Eastway is responsible for me thinking this way and for making me realise that an image can be so much more, we just need to imagine it.
