independent shoot 1

my influence

my influence for this photoshoot was ansel adams. his work mainly focuses on tone and form which are the elements that i wanted to photograph.




i chose these photos because of the natural forest theme and the light coming through the trees. i also like the earthy colours that have been shown as they give the photos a calmer feel.

images that need improvement






the photo on the left needs improvement as the exposure is too low which loses the detail in the trees. if i were to take it again, i would use a tripod and decrease the shutter speed so that more light is let into the frame. i could also adjust the f-stop and the IOS.

the photo on the left is too blurry and you can't really distinguish what the photo is of. this is because i used a slow shutter speed and i didn't have a tripod. if i were to re take this photo, i would use a tripod and adjust the ISO and possibly use the flash to include more detail in the photo.

movement

movement

motion blur is the apparent streaking of moving objects in a photograph or a sequence of frames, such as a film or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, due to rapid movement or long exposure. to capture this you would need to use a slow shutter speed such as one or more seconds.

freeze frame -a single frame forming a motionless photo from a film or video tape. for this you would need a fast shutter speed such a 1/250 or faster.

panning is where you follow a moving object with your camera while taking a photo.

movement is the action of moving






artist research



for my artist research, i chose Shin T. he uses long exposure photos to capture the light from headlights and break lights. this creates solid light beams that could resemble running water.

SHAPE (definition).

•A shape is an area enclosed by a line. It could be just an outline or it could be shaded in.

•Shapes can be either geometric, like a circle, square or triangle, or irregular.

•When drawing shapes, you must consider the size and position as well as the shape of the area around it. The shapes created in the spaces between shapes are referred to as negative space.

this photo uses negative space to draw the viewers attention towards the woman's face. the space also creates different shapes and an abstract effect.
