Item photo shoot

Locaton photography first task

Final Evaluation of project

This is one of my final prints and the reasons for choosing this photo in particular was due to the fact that I love the style of the photograph and how the shot was taken. This is a photocopy of the photo I printed in the darkroom using the skills and know how while working in the darkroom. Even though the subject is not in motion it evokes a sense of movement as the subject is a mode of transport which i believed looked interesting and unique while still been able to be associated with movement.

My film work

These photos have been taken from my film strip, all were taken while on a trip.  I had a limit of 36 photos so i had to plan and make sure everything thing was perfect before taking a shot. I will be using the picture of the scooter and the bus driving down the road as i believed these both supported the idea of movement as both include a mode of transport. i had to look at the foreground and background , making sure there were no distractions or obscuring items in the frame that could distract the attention of the viewer. Most of these images do not include people and this was done because i found it easier to photograph still life and vehicles as they were more consistent in their direction and speed of movement. I used a slow shutter speed for the majority of these photos as i wanted to achieve a look of motion blur as a key aspects in nearly all of the photos. However i did experiment with the shutter speeds as in some images i wanted there to be a  freeze frame like look on the photos as i wanted the objects in the photo to appear completely still in the photograph.  As i was taking photos at locations i wasnt used to i had to adapt and find the most convenient and best places to take photographs.
