Aditya Mawardi // Landscape

Melbourne based photographer, Aditya Mawardi creates landscapes, cityscapes, and seascapes. His work can be found here on his flickr account and also here.

These are all very interesting to me as I've visited Melbourne in the past, so it brings back memories of when I walked through and past all these places in the blazing Australian summer heat. These images are very powerful to me as Melbourne is one of my favourite cities.

These images feature the use of HDR images like Johan Peijnenburg. This has been done so the images capture all aspects of what is happening, with the sky, in the distance and near in high detail. 

The image above has been taken at night looking down on the city of Melbourne. This means that they have used birds eye view vantage point as part of their composition. The image has been taken at sunset, you can tell this by the part of the sky which reaches the land is a golden colour, while the rest of the sky is a darkish blue. The night lights of the city are keeping Melbourne bright and illuminated. The river Yarra can be seen running through the image on the left side, with a few small reflections seen along it from the city lights of Melbourne.

This image is of a beach, with very few people on it, with two people in the water. The image has captured the texture of the clouds, being lines along the sky, as well as the crashing waves, the sand, and the fence. This is the type of image that people look at and wish that they were there and not where they currently are. 

This image is of a pier / board walk that goes into the sea. The walkway creates a line for the viewers eyes to look down, which brings them to the sky and sea. The image captures the texture of the walkway, wood, sea, and clouds. 

This last image of a cloudy sky at Southern Cross, Melbourne. This image has been taken from the vantage point of worms eye view, because they're looking up at the sky and buildings. The sky has a pink colour in it, almost as if it's been taken at sunset with the pastel colour within the sky. The buildings and lights have created vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines through the image, which draw the viewer's eyes there as they're lines that their eyes can follow.
