\Enviro Climate.03\.Notre Dame Malibu<br />
What Type of imagery is being used and how does this compare and contrast?<br />
Norte Dame Paris is taken with a Classical<br />
Sense. The Cathedral itself is almost second<br />
to the trees in the foreground. The Horizon<br />
only exists as the outline of the forefront<br />
trees and that of the cathedrals towers.<br />
Nothing indicating Location or Orientation<br />
is pictured. Contrast this with the Malibu<br />
Mountain which is taken in a more Classical<br />
Format. There is a foreground with<br />
several trees that could be identified with<br />
some low shrubs and plain grass areas just<br />
pass these trees. There’s a middle ground of<br />
two mountains in the distance with a valley<br />
between them that allows a view of distant<br />
mountains that are fading to white.<br />
The boundaries in both images are fairly<br />
clear; more so in the cathedral then the<br />
mountains. The cathedral is bright stonework<br />
and off blue roofs and towers stand out<br />
and loud amongst the darker blue sky and<br />
the woody leafl ess trees in the foreground.<br />
The fact that there are no other structures<br />
beyond trees make the cathedral seem very<br />
object like with a complexity of form. The<br />
mountains could be considered monotone<br />
in that it is mostly composed of greens and<br />
yellows. The fore and middle ground almost<br />
blend into one another, a result of the tree<br />
line and mountains having similar tone.<br />
Compared to the cathedral the mountains<br />
are far from object like and feel and look<br />
more like fl at sections placed behind one<br />
another than a physical 3d form.<br />
Water is absent from both images but<br />
light is quite plentiful. The mountains<br />
have considerable more light that tend<br />
to wash out the background and middle<br />
ground. Whereas the cathedral seems<br />
to be more balanced and the side facing<br />
is gathering enough light to highlight<br />
the many details of its construction.<br />
The cathedrals large masonry components<br />
as well as intricate stone lace are<br />
very apparent as well as an abundance<br />
of ornamentation which is a stark contrast<br />
to the serene absent of structure<br />
and detail in the landscape with has<br />
more curvature.<br />
