Paste 6 images here include the name & date of image

3. Theme or focus of images
What I see in each photos are big landscape pictures of a sunset lake
with big distant mountains. I see mist beyond the mountains which I
think the photographer had waited for that perfect moment for the
clouds to break so the sunshine can glisten down and create a foggy
blanket resting on the mountains. I also see weed or tall grass pushed
to side off the photo, it has been darkened to show the picture has
been more focused on the reflected lake and mountains. I don’t know
exactly when this photo had been taken but by observing the
weathering and colour of the sky my guesses are that the date would
have been around summer/ autumn time. What all these pictures have
in common is that the photographer focuses on single objects in each
one off the photos, also the sun is setting in a majority of the pics
Composition
I think the photographer maybe stood on the lakes pier because just at
the bottom of the photo there is a little pole peeping up, so I reckon
the photographer has zoomed in to not have the pier ruin the shot.
Also the pier could have messed with the colour correction of the lakes
reflection on the camera. I think that he had found the right angle to
show that the lake is the main object in this picture.

4. Techniques used
As the lighting in this photo is getting dark I think he would have used a
higher number of shutter speed to capture more light into the picture.
He has used depth of field on the mountains to bring them out of the
picture and blurring the foreground of any unneeded objects contrasts
the colours of the sunset. Observing the light and depth of field I think
he would have used a high F-stop as there isn’t that much of a blur
used in the photo so I would think he would have used an f-stop of
around f/9. He has used rule of thirds to emphasise the background
and the sunset to collaborate the colours with the objects.
Strengths & Weaknesses
What you do and don't like and how it can influence your work
There are many things I like about this photograph one for example
would be the range of colours, I like how they all mix together and
combine it makes the picture stand out and catches your eyes. This
could influence my work because I think landscape photos are very
unique in different ways, and the use of the sunset to contrast a
multiple of different colours works well with these types of photographs.
