Movement shoot 2- Straight images

Movement- Work diary

Evaluation

The objective of the assignment was to capture movement locations off campus.  This shoot went relatively well however due to the yet weather some of the images suffered due to distortion on the lens due to rain.

I opted to have a separate shoot in order to better focus on the movement of traffic, I feel that this was a successful as it enabled me to better focus on a specific area of movement.

Progression

I think that the shoot went well due to the fact that I got a varied selection of shots however if I were to repeat the shoot I would bring glowsticks to recreate the movement of light shots as we had to use phone torches and could only achieve one colour of lighting.  I would repeat the shoot to prevents getting water droplets on the camera lens as they distort the image.

Favourite image

0.5, f/11, ISO 80

This is my favourite image due to the way that the movement is present in the left third of the image and the main colour in the image is present in the right third of the image. I do not like the distortion created by the rain on the lens.

Least favourite image

1.0, f/11, ISO 80

This is my least favourite due to the fact that the entire image is blurred opposed to the subject being all that it blurred.

Aspirations
Christopher Martin's style is interesting to me as I enjoy his varied style.

Movement- Straight images

The following images were all taken using long exposure photography of 5 to 12 seconds.

In this image I have increased the images darkness and also increased the images darkness in an attempt to create a greater sense of contrast.  I have also cropped the image to draw the to the images centre.

I have turned this image black and white as well as increasing the contrast in order to increase the effect of the symbol of the heart and to make it more visible.  The coldness of the image also adds a sense of sadness.

I like this image as I feel that the moving trails of light look somewhat like comets.  To create this image I increased the image darkness and contrast.

This image appeals to me because of the way that movement is displayed through the a car passing through the cameras frame whilst the image was bring taken.  I also like the constant image of the stop sign.  To create this image I increased it's saturation and darkness.

This photo appeals to me because of the way in which the image captures the matches as they are falling, this creates an interesting and impermanent shape that would be almost impossible to recreate.  This element of impermanent shape that makes the image com from to Bresson's definitive moment.

 This photo appeals to me because of the way in which the long exposure photo captures the way that overtime the movement of the light creates a pattern.  I also like the way that the varied saturated and bright colour scheme of the lights gives the image a wild, psychedelic appearance.

I like the way which the long exposure photo creates lines where the lighting is not coming from a fixed point but the lights which are in a fixed position retain there original shape and form.  I also like the way that the red and the blue lights create a high contrast in colour.

I like this image because of the way that the photo captures the moment that the bulb breaks in detail.  This is particularly interesting as this would be impossible to see in real life.  I also like the stark contrast between the black of the background and light tones of the bulb.

This image appeals to me because it uses long exposure setting used allows light trails to be formed by the stars due to the way that the earth orbits whilst the image is being taken.

I like this picture because of the way that the shallow depth of field and focus allows for movement to be clearly shown by the bikes surroundings.  The positioning of the bikes wheel in the left third of the image helps to draw the viewers eye to the bikes wheel making it the focal point of the image.
