I imagined Magic Hour.
It expresses the time to connect to the future with light light consisting of sunlight and the main dandelion.
I showed direction in architectural dandelion in dandelion and highlighted the building with light.
Depth of field It was my problem to get through the building by making light and time.
The color was difficult to determine.
The last part was post-production. I wanted to use the rest of the time available to play with Photoshop as long as I could, giving me many option of moods to choose in the end. I tried to add snow falling with After Effects, put it in differents times of the day, add sun rays,stars, fog, etc. So I could have many ideas to help me choose a final look.
In the end the most difficult part for me was to organize my thoughts with all the time available. Since I could only work on the weekends, sometimes when I returned to this project I would forget where I had stopped after a full week of other works. I could had finish this earlier, but I wanted to use the most of the given time, to be sure I liked the result, is not everyday someone gives you such a long time to work, and when they do I understand they want you to enjoy it all.
If I would do this challange again i would try a completely different mood/setting, just for the fun of it.
This is my final submission. Have used minimum postproduction as intended. Few curves to brighten up certain areas like ground and building, Color Lookup, and few channels for certain parts.
Really enjoyed this challenge it was very motivating and interesting to take part in. Thank you Tomorrow and Ronen for the opportunity. I wish all the contestants best of luck.
This is my finished work. Unlike my usual workflow with heavy postproduction, I had enough time to complete most of the elements in the scene. I mostly did leveling and toning, to give the image more natural and warm look, enhanced depth of building volume, added atmospheric effects.
Because the upload is allowed in low res, I attach several partial views and comparison of Raw&Finished work.
Thank you again for organizing this interesting and exciting challenge, it was my pleasure! My best wishes to all the participants!
Before get starting to work I’ve been thinking about the mood of the image. After long deliberations, I stopped on a gloomy mood which usually happens before the storm. Also a great influence on my choice had works of such masters as Bertrand Benoit and Alex Roman. Their works has always seemed to me gloomy and anxious. That is exactly what I find interesting about them.
After selecting the mood, I started to work. I decided that classical composition of frame is more suitable for such buildingand the building was placed in the center of the shot. In the work I tried to use the straight lines that accentuate the construct of the museum. I also thought that it is possible to add water to the image. It gives a nice reflections of the environment and makes the picture more interesting.
After the work has been completed, I saw that the render looks too gray and lifeless. For this I decided to add to the image a little bit of sunshine which gradually absorbs the stormy sky.
In the end I got an image which combines dark stormy mood with inherent cool shades and sun with its warm light.
Thank you for attention.
From the start, I had in my mind the concept that the museum and the surroundings shall be a public space , where you can enjoy the Baltic sea view and spend free time with your friends.
The mood I chosen, was from the beginning the foggy autumn morning. The black facade can be better emphasized by yellowish nature.
I have enjoyed the challenge, and wish good luck too all of artists .
