What I have done so far....

So far during this half-term I have taking 7 traditional shoots and have printed my favourite images.

Experimental photography

Over the summer holidays I experimented with flower photography shooting from different angles to create a different and more interesting view to the photographs. In our traditional lessons during the week I made both positive and negative photographs of the following photo. I believe that this photo is particularly good as a I love the composition, the angle of which the photo was taken and the small depth of field that I had used. I also got to experiment with dodging and burning in the sky. In addition, with this photo we also had to print a low contrast (the original photo) and a high contrast (we had to add 170 magenta), this gave the photo more distinctive tones which I believe looked great in this photo.

My Last Shoot

Last weekend I completed a traditional shoot, I chose the location of the shoot to be close to the river to create a tranquil setting for my photos.

Plan for this weekend

For this weekend shoot I will be carrying on with nature photography. My ideas for photography will be surrounding the influence of photographer Philip Tonkyn. Although I won't be going to Glastonbury I will take photos in Duxford.  I will take a variety of photos and will try and use compositional techniques  such as frame within a frame, different depth of fields etc. I am going to concentrate on more close-ups.
