PROBLEM SOLVING- Fourth Shoot contact sheet

Fourth Shoot 
For this shoot I went to a fast flowing waterfall to perfect the technique of a long exposure photos. I reshot this shoot because the photos before were very unsuccessful, so I chose a faster subject like this waterfall. They are more reliable then the sea as the sea can be calm or rough dependent on the weather. However, at a waterfall as long as there is water it will fall. I used a shutter speed of 30 seconds, an ISO of 100 and an aperture at f25. The images I edited were IMG_7033, IMG_7045, IMG_7040, IMG_7048 and IMG_7055. 
I took the photos into photoshop and edited them into the style of the photographers that use long exposures such as, Michael kenna, Michael Levin and Thomas Joshua Cooper. These images most signify the work of John Blakemore with his project of long coastal exposures.  

I think these photos worked better because it was a more reliable source compared to some of my others shoots because unless there was a major drought then there will always be water. You also don't have to rely on the environment such as the weather and the tide times like my previous shoot.

CONTEXT -project proposal

Extended Diploma in Art & Design Unit 8 Project Proposal Candidate Name Eden Roebuck Candidate Number S0714045 Pathway Photography Project Title Change Section 1:   Rationale (approx. 100 words) Since I started college and over the past seven units I have developed my photography skills and produced a wide range and style of work. I have learnt about and produced work in all different kinds of genre such as, portraits, landscapes and made some advertisement campaign product shoots. I have researched into well-known and successful photographers and looked into their work like how they create it and the paths they have taken in their life. I have also learnt that by taking a photo it doesn’t restrict you to the canvas and composition that you originally composed. Before the first seven units I had basic photo editing skills, I have now extended my skills of photo editing in Photo...

REFLECTION -weekly timetable

Week 1 - This week I did general research and mood board making for ideas for my final major project. I did some planning for my first shoot which I will use as a test shoot so that I can refine the idea for the second shoot.  Week 2 - This week I editing of first shoot and second but refined shoot I made contact sheets and edits. I began to reflect and what I have done. So far I am on task with my project schedule Week 3 -  I then evaluated and annotated both shoots on what I did to the images, what I like and dislike about them and how they like to the work of Thomas Joshua Coopers work. I then moved on to planning another shoot and researched into the work of Michael Kenna. I am slightly ahead of my project schedule as I managed to move on to another artist research and to plan another shoot.  Week 4 - I shot a third shoot, evaluated and annotated what I did, the successful and unsuccessful thing which occurred during the shoot. Week 5 - E valua...

PRIMARY RESEARCH - Third shoot

Image
For my third shoot I used a DSLR and a neutral density filter. I tried to capture the movement of the sea and the sun as it sets. This shoot didn't work how I planned it and my photos were unsuccessful. I think they were unsuccessful because the sea was very calm meaning there was very little movement in the water. The effect that I was trying to create was unsuccessful. I also think it didn't work because the tide was very low and going out, as well as the sun setting.  The main problem was that it was too bright because the sun was beginning to set this meant that the camera had to block out more light which it struggled with. All these things played their part together into not creating the effect that Thomas Joshua Cooper, Michael Kenna and Michael Levin use in their photography. For these photos I used a Shutter speed ranging from 30 - 60 seconds, an ISO of 100 and an aperture of f29. I set the camera up at the edge of the sea with a eight stop ND filter. I think my se...
