Project 2: Landscape – Peach Apocalypse

C O N C E P T

This photo was taken in Serpong, just South of Jakarta. Inspired by the colours of a Jakartan dusk, I tried to recreate the pink wash using the context of a cityscape. The sky casts a lazy morning glow, bringing warmth to the otherwise blue existence of the concrete city.

Shot on Canon EOS 7D Mark II, aperture f/5, shutter speed 1/400s, ISO 100, focal length 24 mm

  1. Cleaning – Cleaned out minor details like a lamp post and a tree.
  2. Red Channel Mask (Highlights and Shadows) – Brought the contrast up to make the clouds more visible.
  3. Colour Balance – Make the photograph cooler.
  4. Selective Colour Filter – Make certain colours stand out more.
  5. Solid Colours – Tinted the photo with the main colours of blue and pink.
  6. Building – Coloured the two stray buildings blue to blend in with the rest of the foreground and buildings.
  7. Gradient Mask and Solid Colour – Added colours using gradient as it creates a more interesting composition, and mimics a film burn.
  8. Noise – Added non-monochromatic grain for a more film feel.
