Ross Hoddinott // Landscape

Natural history & landscape photographer, Ross Hoddinott creates interesting landscapes through the use of colour, light and shade, composition, and lines.

This image shows fog coming in from the right side of the image through the trees. This is a contrast within the image because the trees are a bright green showing texture and colour, and the white fog is coming in and overpowering that by turning it into a white scene. The hills are full of colour from greens and browns.

This image has an aspect of tranquillity to it, because the sky is toned down pastel colours which are reflecting on the water, and making sure that the image isn't too bright. There are 3 boardwalks, with one running down the very centre of the image and the other two coming in from the left and right sides. The central one is leading the viewer's eyes through the image and creating a point of interest for them to look at. Around the water, there are hills or mountains, which are dark greens and browns. This creating a peaceful landscape.

This image shows a pile of large rocks sat upon each other, overlooking out into a view of greens and browns and an almost clear, sunny day. The rocks are the point of interest within the image because they are up so high, compared to all the other rocks around there which are sat upon the ground

This image shows a castle sat upon the summit of a hill, this creates a point of interest with the castle because it's at the very top overlooking the rest of the image. The limestone in the fore ground gives another colour and texture to the image. The image is made up of browns, greens, and greys on the land. The image has been taken on a long exposure, as this can be seen fro the clouds which have moved whilst the image was being taken.
My images below:

This image is much more bleak than Hoddinott's as the sky is so grey. The Totley tunnel air shaft is up higher than the rest of the ground around there which is similar to the third image I have analysed of Hoddinott's. The ground is full of texture from the long grass there, with it being green and brown.

This image has a building as the point of interest like the fourth image I analysed of Hoddinott's. The house is sat on it's own in the middle of no where, being very isolated. The ground is made up of vivid colours which is a contrast to the bleak day that the image was taken on, such as browns, greens, dark oranges, and reds.
