Garden Photo joining

 My Garden

The first image is my attempt at recreating the David Hockney’s garden photograph shown in my previous blog, although I was at a disadvantage due to the time of year which shows a rather bleak winter garden rather than one in summer bloom with vibrant colours. Having taken approximately one hundred photographs I decided not to use them all as some were very similar which would have resulted in the completed file being far too large to work with and to save to my blog. The completed image was a little jumbled and I needed to refine it.

The second image I re-organised the photographs around to give a better perspective of the garden rather than looking directly at it which I felt was required. To improve the image I should have taken more photographs of the patio plus added more grass which would have finished the image better rather than leaving some gaps at the bottom.

David Hockney.

The image below has been created by David Hockney by attaching a series of photographs together to create one perspective of what I assume is his rear garden. Combining the photographs allows the viewer to see a greater area of the garden which could not have been achieved by a single photograph unless possibly using a fish eye lens.

I selected this image as the colours of the garden are so vibrant it draws the viewers’ eyes towards the bright green off centred lawn framed between the patio and hedgerows. This gives the impression you are there and is good example of what can be achieved when combining photos is done well. I am now inspired to try and replicate the result using my garden as the subject.
