Unit 6 York photo-shoot review

York photo-shoot review

 On the 25th of April, we went to york where we took photos of our chosen genre which for me was the social documentary so I tried to get as many photos of the public around town. I noticed that on this particular day there weren't many people around which wasn't great for my particular genre so I had to wait for the rush hour times around city centre where I tried to get as many shots of people and the town as possible. I managed to get lost around york as I used google maps and it took me 30 minutes out of town so I was at a disadvantage when taking photos and I also got caught in the huge hailstorm as I was making my way back to town.

I then met up with the rest of the group and waited for 20 minutes until the hailstorm cleared a little. We then went to the railway museum where we looked at all the trains and blended in with all the tourists. After looking at what seemed 100+ trains I then went to the train station where I waited for the train back to Bradford. If I were to do this shoot again I would probably go at a busier time so that I can photograph as many people as possible. I would also check the weather extensively and go when it is sunny.

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....
