Anyway, I happened to go walking with a friend around the time I was handed a brief to create a photo composition using adobe creative suite 5 in order to layer, mask and filter multiple images together.
I had no idea what the weather conditions would be like for lighting (I was going to be armed only with my iPhone camera) but by some stroke of luck, god was smiling that day and the weather was beautiful.
I took quite a few shots on the way up and was taken aback by the alien looking landscapes on offer during my scramble to the top of TRYFAN in North wales.
Whilst driving through surrounding villages en route to our starting point, my mate and I happened to notice that many of these small places were becoming deserted. Loads of old dwellings were boarded up, pubs were closed and the places looked like ghost towns. Was this due to it being 6:30 am, or due to social change? Hard to tell.
What we did notice however, was that in one of the otherwise seemingly deserted villages, was a brand spanking new Tesco Express (TM). No evidence of human life, but a brand spanking new Tesco Express (TM). These places seem to be cropping up everywhere at the moment. If theres a spare bit of land available, build a Tesco Express (TM).
We didn't stop for supplies.
After ascending to 3,010 feet above sea level and taking some shots of this martian looking mountainscape, we discussed how convenient it may have been if someone had decided to build a Tesco Express on Tryfan's summit.
My idea for the Magic and Illusion excercise assignment was born:
