This piece strongly gives the impression of the sublime I was specifically looking for. The scale in conjunction with the colours gives the viewer a sense of warmth and happiness. An interesting point to note though is that Turner himself saw the the activities of the sun during the day as a lifetime. It is born in the morning at sunrise and dies in the night at sunset. From this I can draw parrellels to my project in the sense that if I can capture a sunset it will further emphasise the deteriation and death aspect of my piece.

In conclusion to the images below several could be used in my piece, especially the ones that display scale, proportion and uninterrupted shapes. My only worry though is that even though they show beautiful proportion, I need to add other kinds of images to my library. One artist that has interested me when researching the sublime and beautiful is William J Turner and his landscape oil paintings depicting the sunrise and sunset. It is at these times of the day I feel that the beautiful fully displays its self and because of this, this is what I will look into next.

This image like the others investigates size and proportion but also persepctive. It is its perspective and scale that gives it charactor. It displays a feeling of grandness and makes the viewer feel small but respected. I feel it is the closest these set of images have come to the sublime and beautiful, and is one I will then use in my peice.

This like the image below toys with the notion of proportion but on a local, small scale. The focus of the cmaera is used to bring the foreground to life and let the viewer focus on the scale of the buds and branches.

Here this image focus' on the unbalance of proportion the vast landscape sometimes has. We see the forest below the mound which is nothing special but the fact that there is a clearing and then a couple of trees and shrubs on the top gives a greate sense of uniqueness and perspective

This image uses the shape of the snow and perspective to create a proportionate view of the landscape. The upwards curve of the snow builds up the impression of the barraness of the rocky cliff.

This image toys with the idea that nature continuing to live in the most deserted locations on the planet, is a beautiful thing. That will to live and live well that animals and plants have is unique and critical attribute.

This image simply plays with the feeling of perspective and how the viewer, analyses the same objects within different environments. For example the close up tree donminates the image and displays great power while the little tree shows weakness and vunrability.

This image emphasises random pattern and texture. Thanks to the focus and contrast of the image it makes the viewer want to reach out and feel the rock, it tempts the viewer to pollute the rocks space.

Here this image supports the notion of beautiful being the unique perception of proportion and shape. This gives the tree and its surroundings a great character and depth.

Shape and perspcetive in this image plays a key part in showing a natural and beautiful shape. The contrast of the white snow and dull grass creates a great sense of impression and sense that the land hasn't been disrupted.

Various locations around Malham were visited and one thing that I identified as being unique was the difference of one rock to the other, and how the water over the years has shaped them.

After reading up on Edmund Burke it came apparent to me that for the images I take to display something that is beautiful, balance and proportion must be taken into account. So I decided to drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and collect some images that I thought played well with the notion of how we perceive size and proportion as well as collecting sounds to later on include in the piece if possible. Above are the first set of images I collected.
