For this project i was asked to photograph urban and rural landscapes using the black and white zone system and utilizing sense of place.

The Sqaure

This is my urban landscape image, I took this in downtown Scottsburg AKA The Sqaure.After making it black and white, I found my whitest point in the sky and my darkest point in the tire of the truck. I then used levels and curves for further adjustments and straightened up some of the buildings and right before saving sharpened it up using the high pass layer in photoshop.

Rural Landscape image

This is my rural landscape image. This was way far out there in austin indiana which leads to a nice rural country area.  I converted to black and white, used levels adjustment to brighten it up and sharpened using a high pass layer
