On the second day of the residency I took a trip up to
Dovedale, where I found there was even more detail and colour within the
landscape. Walking along the river was a lovely experience as the sound of the
rushing water conveyed such a passive feeling, creating a great atmosphere for
me to shoot in.
Being a photography student, I have documented this weekend
through the medium of photography, by capturing different aspects of Ilam Park
and other areas within the Peak District. I have enjoyed learning about how
three other mediums such as, Animation, Music Technology and Fine Art, can
capture the essence of such a beautiful place, and represent the area in
completely different yet exciting ways.
One of the main focuses of the weekend, for me, was the
immense amount of colour of the area, and how you could see one colour of a
certain tree, such as orange and yellow and how that would contrast with the
greens of the grass or the blue sky.
My thought for the Long Road
Project , is to represent the area of the Peak District through blurred and
focused image. I want to display the Peak District in two different ways as I want
to discover how my viewers will see the Peak District and if the viewers of my
images capture the same feeling from both pictures of the same area.
Another main experience which I
enjoyed this weekend was exploring the area, and having quite a lot of time to
just walk around and photograph the beautiful landscape.
Overall the weekend was a great
success, as I now know not to just experience a certain place and its landscape
through vision, but also through sound, and in some circumstances, touch, as
everywhere creates sound as much as every place has a certain texture for us to
feel and see.
