This is a landscape piece by photographer Brett Weston. It was taken in 1982, the place is Volcano, Hawaii. This photograph has a mysterious and almost dead feeling to it. The dried up land scattered with branches make it look like the landscape has dried up and the surrounding vegetation has died. The cloudy sky also makes it more mysterious looking and adds more contrast to the piece. Brett Weston does a variety of different photography, from landscapes to abstractions. His work is very unique and can easily catch one's attention with his interesting ideas and concepts. Leading lines from the branches of the tree make your eye move around the piece and into the sky. Rule of thirds was used because the tree is off to the side, rather than in the middle. The tree and clouds help to fill the frame so that there are minimal negative spaces.

This is an interior-scape piece by Peter Gnas. The location of this photograph is in an abandoned building in Milwaukee. The mood of this piece is mysterious, but at the same time, it’s exciting. It’s mysterious because there’s no evidence of life. It’s exciting because the vibrant colors make you wonder what type of place it was before. Gnas does photography of abandoned building or strange areas. He illuminated his subjects with colored strobe lights to give them the creepy and mysterious look. That shows in this piece because the colored strobe lights gave the area a completely different look. The leading lines of both the ground and ceiling all focus to the back of the building.

This is a cityscape photograph by Shaun O’Boyle. The mood of this piece seems very calming and yet full of life, The stream of water gives is a calming mood, but all the buildings, smoke, and rough land make it look full of life. O’Boyle does a lot of black and white photography of landscape, abandoned areas, railroad tracks, etc. Even without color, O’Boyle is able to include a personality and feeling into each of her pieces. In this piece, the leading lines of the river lead you through the piece. She used the rule of thirds by having the buildings in one section and the river in another; everything is spread out rather than in the center. There ’s also a level horizon from the building into the sky.

I plan to use the wood transfer technique. I wanted to do a wood transfer because I was planning to do either a landscape or mindscape type of photograph. My concept for this piece is a safe place, or a place that feels like home. My imagery will be places around Pewaukee collaged into a mindscape type of photo. A wood transfer would be best because it would tie the whole landscape theme together. I was planning to had a natural warm lighting to emphasize my concept. The mood would be calm, yet full of life and welcoming. I plan to print onto a piece of wood that is roughly 8x8 (may change depending on final image).
