Title: Gloomy Wilderness Tags: Dark Sky, Gloomy, Woods

I took several pictures in order to capture the mood of atmospheric space. I wanted to get a good shot of the gloomy sky. The trees and shrubs in the foreground are a contrast to the cloudy grey sky in the background. The color of the grey sky emphasizes the gloominess in the picture. The dark rich color in the sky draws one’s attention to the atmospheric space in the picture. It was a challenge trying to capture a balanced picture of the trees and shrubs along with the sky in the background. I think it is important to consider what kind of colors are in the environment when taking photographs that incorporate the compositional element of atmospheric space. I used a photo editing software program to convert the picture to black and white in order to give the picture a gloomy effect. In this picture the eye is drawn to the atmospheric space in the sky.
