project 10
Photo 1; 17 mm.
Photo 2 35 mm.
The wider angle is creating converging lines, look at the cars. Also the angle of view seems different, in the wider angle shot the viewer is looking up at the house more. In the first shot we are right at the house while in the second shot we are a little further away from it. The scale looks a little different also in the first shot the house is more imposing.
Project 9; Focal lenghts.
Photo 1. Focal lenght 15 mm. Fish eye lens. Obviously a very wide angle view, I like the distortion on the tree on the right hand side and at the edges of the frame. On a landscape like this there is a lot of detail perhaps too much. Its difficult to know what to look at.
Photo 2; 17 mm. Again lots of detail, its almost a miniature.
Photo 3; 24 mm. the scale is getting gradually larger. Now its beginning to look like the building in the centre is the subject.
Photo 4; 35 mm. as above
Photo 5; 50 mm. My second favorite shot. Now it is easier to see the sheep and the mountains in the background.
Photo 6; 70 mm. The picture makes more sense now, or is it that the subject has changed? Perhaps it is more of an obvious subject now.
Photo 7; 105 mm. Of the photos in this sequence this is my favorite. There is enough detail here. The sheep are clear in the fore ground and I can see the mountains behind.
Photo 8; 135 mm. Problem here is the tree on the right.
Photo 10; 200 mm. Both the tree on the right and the lack of detail in the background take away from this shot.
Project 8; Recording a sequence
I have had my first attempt at this project. Its quite tricky. I did see several moments worthy of photographing however, I found it difficult to actually capture them with the camera.
I chose to use a walk which I went on with my wife and our neighbor.
in the first photo I liked the view of the mountains and the people show some
thing of the scale of the place. I feel though now that this photo lacks impact. the second
photo is similar. The next few shots were taken because I turned around and saw the sunlight hitting the trees behind be and it really brought out the autumn colours. I was using a wide angle lens and took these shots with it. I felt however that I needed to get right in on the subject I wanted to capture. I was too far away and then changed to a zoom lens 24
to 100 mm. and took the next few.
However by then the light was almost gone, I tried to capture the moment but failed. Also I have over exposed the sky and the highlights are burnt out.
So I moved on because the moment was gone.
I like this last shot although its not technically perfect. I moved on because there was nothing left that caught my eye.
We met a shepherd and I was really interested in him as a subject. I wanted to have him in the landscape. I wanted a portrait that was natural, a candid so I tried to shoot blind but it didn't really work.
It didn't really work. Technically the shots are both over and under exposed. It was time to move on.
