Unit 29 Evaluation

Evaluation
The first task was for me to plan my idea of summertime and my photo-shoots, firstly I came up with my idea which was fun in the sun! Then I planned my first shoot which was based on an event called the Bradford city water fight which is held each year during summer time when all the children are off school. The second shoot I planned was primarily focused on reflections because during summer the sun shines bright on the water especially at the Leeds canals.

The third shoot I planned was of a child holding an umbrella as rain falls down over her, I wanted to do this shoot because I not only wanted to represent sunshine during summer but also rain because in England we mostly have rain during summer. Sadly though I wasn't able to shoot this because my subject went on an unexpected holiday. 

My fourth shoot I planned was of children at a park playing on swings, slides and other various things within the play area, This shoot also was cancelled because of the weather and timing of the shoot. My last shoot that I planned was going to be of raindrops falling on a window to represent the rainy weather within the summertime, and this shoot didn't work out because of weather although I still took photos of the window.

The next task we had to do was research location photography techniques with examples of other photographers work. I described and explained about all of the techniques and used photos from various photographers work to show how the images were when using these techniques. The next task involved me to show evidence of my photo-shoots in contact sheet form which I did post on blogger.

The next task I had to do was an analysis of my final 6 images within this I used some of the 5c's which are:

  1. Content
  2. Context 
  3. Composition 
  4. Connection 
  5. Comment
I then also wrote about what techniques I used, who inspired my work, what I edited, if my photo turned out the way I wanted, any problems I encountered, how it fits my theme and what I would do differently. The next thing I had to do was get my images sized for ProAm and take them there. The last task I had to was my evaluation of all my work as you can see I accomplished this by including everything I have done and what was set within this unit.

Unit 25 Final evaluation

Final evaluation For our first task, we had to research studio food photographers in order to take some techniques and learn about studio food photography more. I researched three photographers called Marcus Nilsson, David Munns and Matt Armendariz. What I got from all of those photographers were that simplicity in your photos is the best way to go about it. The next task was primary research where we had to go out and take pictures of food. I chose to go to the Oastler market to take pictures of fruit and vegetables. For this next task, we had to research the two different lighting types which were high key and low key. When researching these lighting types I found that using high key would be a better choice when taking food photographs because it looks like a window like. However, if you wanted a more dramatic effect with your images then you would use low key lighting. This follows into the next task which is studio lighting attachments. This is where we looked up different ligh...

Unit 25 Exposure meters

Image
Exposure meters  An exposure meter is a device that is used to measure the amount of light to determine a proper exposure. The earliest light meters were called extinction meters and they contained a numbered or lettered row that has natural density filters. This means that when the photographer would meter his subject the filter with the greatest density would still allow incident light to pass through. The letter or number (whatever type of row that you had) would correspond to the filter and this was used as an index into a chart of aperture and shutter speed combinations for a given film speed aka ISO. The only bad thing that occurred with the extinction meters was that they were heavily dependent on the light sensitivity of the human eye, this was bad because this can vary person to person. There are two general types of light meters which are reflected light and incident light. Reflected light meters measure the light that is reflected by the scene to be photographed....
