Unit 6 Analysis of all shoots

Analysis of Spain shoot
I spent a week in Spain, I was prepared with all of my gear sadly I only brought 3 rolls of film and I only got to use one due to the fact that my boyfriend used the other two. The photos that I did manage to take were an overall success, however, I wish that I had planned my shots out more considerately so that I used the roll effectively instead of going a bit trigger happy with taking landscape shots. Although I did get some great social documentary photos that I am proud of. 

All of my photos were in focus and well exposed, however, when scanning I can see there was dust on the film so I will have to rescan. I think that the shots that I took in Spain fit with my target audience as it represents Palma. If I was to shoot this again I would travel further to a more populated part of Palma as I did stay in the more rural part of Palma. I also would experiment and do some double exposures which would feature the water over a picture of scenery or people. 

Analysis of black and white shoot
I shot my black and white shoot in rush due to the fact that I had a very busy week, so on Monday, I decided to wake up at 6 am and go to town. This wasn't the brightest idea because not many people were out and most of the shops around town weren’t open. This was terrible planning on my part as I had to wait an hour and a half to just see a couple people. This prompted me to take some pictures of the Oastler Market the Kirkgate area. 

After the shoot, I saw that some of my shots were motion blurred as I moved when taking the shots but overall the photos I took were satisfactory to me. I would say that the photos did fit with the genre but I should’ve been more considerate with my shots. This shoot was definitely a flop as the exposure, focus and target audience was lost in this shoot. If I were to shoot this again I would probably plan a better time and not move as much when taking shots or even bring my monopod. 


Analysis of first colour shoot in Leeds
When arriving in Leeds it started to rain which was a blessing and a curse because it is the classic British weather but annoying because I did not want to get my film camera wet. For this shoot, I used Kodacolor film due to the fact that I couldn't get my regular ASA 200 as I couldn't get them from my regular shop.

 I think these images do represent my genre and are technically sound as they are focused correctly and exposed nicely. these photos are for my target audience as they display the idea that I originally came up with. The shoot went great as I managed to get some nice photos of the people of Leeds and the places that are regularly visited. If I was to shoot this again I would probably be more decisive with my shots as I feel like I may have rushed the shoot.

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....
