Picture 1- Abandoned Tugboat Artist- Julie Berlin Cityscape http://weburbanist.com/2008/09/21/24-stunning-hdr-photographs-of-abandoned-places/1-abandoned-tugboat/ The lighting of this picture is beautiful, the sunset is behind the buildings so you can just see the colors coming above the buildings. this artist takes pictures that almost look unrealistic, however they are all real. Also the reflection in the water fills up a lot of the negative space in the water. This image uses leading lines from the boat side into the city, and also from the beach-line. This image reminds me of late night when everyone is winding down, calm, and getting ready to sleep.

Picture 2- Brewery Hall Artist- Julie Berlin Interior http://weburbanist.com/2008/09/21/24-stunning-hdr-photographs-of-abandoned-places/2-hall-skylight-hdr/ The lighting makes the picture look fake. The picture almost looks animated. The light coming in from tall the windows apply a very weird texture in the building. The architecture of the building is so abstract and different, that is what makes the image so fantastic. This image uses a symmetrical technique as well as leading lines that keep your eyes moving. The picture has a fatigued, old feel to it.

Picture 3- Abandoned Village Artist- Julie Berlin Landscape http://weburbanist.com/2008/09/21/24-stunning-hdr-photographs-of-abandoned-places/21-abandoned-village/ I consider this image landscape because the ancient village has been taken over by nature. This beautiful Matera, Italy is a Unesco World Heritage site. Early settlers from hundreds of years ago built these buildings which are now considered "ruins". The lighting of the photo really shows the age of the buildings because it seems so dark and worn out.

For my project I am going to use a photo that I took in Cocoa Beach, Florida this summer and print it on a old wood board. I am going to have a very colorful lighting and happy feeling image. I took these photos will I was on vacation out to eat at a restaurant that was on the ocean. I am choosing to use this photo because while I was in Cocoa Beach I was extremely happy, and someday I hope to live or vacation there again.
