For this shoot I decided to go to a castle in Stansted Mountfitchetand take pictures of the scenery around there.
Research Artist
I was inspired by Lee Frost's wide angle photography and I wanted to experiment with different equipment to produce my photos of the sky.
I like this photo because he has split this photo into three thirds and the landscape taking up two of them. Also, I like how the photo is able to capture a lot more in and hold a lot more texture and tone from the clouds and sky. This is something I could aim for when using my wide angle lens and thing about how I set up the frame and position things in it.
Best Images
I like this photo because the wood around the edge helps fill in the frame a bit more and creates the illusion that you are looking through the photo. Also, I like how I've equally balanced the landscape with the sky to make the photo more visually pleasing.
I like this photo because I have never taken anything like this before and it shows how I'm experimenting with different techniques on how to take pictures of the sky and developing my work even further. Additionally, I like how the sunglasses lens is centred in the middle because you are still able to see the natural colour around the edge.
I like this photo because it creates a curved line into the frame and adds more texture to help build the image more. Also, due to the lack of texture from the sky, this creates a strong contrast and makes the photo seem more intriguing.
I like this photo because my sunglasses lens fills up most of the frame apart from a small section creating an intriguing affect. This helps my work stand out more because I have experimented on different ways on where I should position my sunglasses over the lens to create different affects and develop my photos further.
I like this photo because I used a wide angle lens and got to a high advantage point and took a photo of the scenery. This allowed me to experiment with different equipment and achieve a different outcomes compared to what I have gotten before. Also, I like how the heavy detail from the buildings is balanced out by the plain and calm sky.
Worst Images
I don't like this photo because it is slightly over exposed and you loose the detail from the sky and the scenery around because it is all slightly whitewashed. This is due to have my aperture in a too high of a setting, therefore, I've allowed too much light into the lens.
I don't like this photo because it looks very boring from the lack of detail and texture. Also, the tree does not hold a lot of texture or detail therefore not creating a strong contrast or a balance from the plain sky.
AO3
For this shoot, I drove up to Stansted Mountfichet and took pictures of the sky surrounding the castle and landscape. For this shoot, I was inspired by Stephen Shore's filtered photos and I wanted to incorporate something similar in my work. By doing this, it would allow me to experiment with different techniques and methods on how to take photos and make them look interesting. Additionally, this would make my photos look more interesting and stand out more.
AO2
For this shoot, I used my Canon 600D camera with a EPS 18-55 Canon lens and my Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD lens. I set my shutter speed to 1/125 and my ISO to 200 and later on in the day 400 because it started to get cloudy. I had my aperture mainly at 8.0 but for different photos I changed my settings accordingly depending on what my exposure dial suggested so I had the correctly exposed photos.
Manipulating my Images
AO1
I decided to research Stephen Shore and he helped me to produce photos with filters over them. This helps make his photos stand out because the filters create strong bold colours. I wanted to create the same affect so my photos would stand out and look different compared to my other shoots so I would have a large variety of photos. However, Shore uses professional filters to help him produce this and I do not have access to that and I had to develop my thinking on this idea and use what I had around me, therefore, I used my sunglasses to help achieve this. I like the affect this has given some of my photos because not everything in the frame has the filter over it.
AO4
My intentions for my photos was to create interesting images using filters like Stephen Shore does and due to the lack of equipment I had to use my sunglasses. This makes these photos more personal to me because most photographers do not use their sunglasses to help them create a filter, making my photos seem more quirky and unique and representing my personality through the image more.
I like how these photos turned out because they all hold strong bold colours which helps them stand out in their own way. Also, my photos with the sunglasses lens, I like how I kept everything inside the lens in colour and everything outside in black and white. This helped me experiment with different techniques to help achieve this and develop me photos further. Also, they stand out a lot more because I have never taken photos like this before.
