Digital Primary Research Task

Digital glass shoot, Primary Research Task 

 This is our Primary Research Task where we had to go out and shoot some photos of glass images to inspire and give us ideas on what we can shoot in the future. 

This image didn't go as planned and i had to take it a go few times before i got it to look like this. I wanted to capture all of the colours of the traffic lights and to do this I had to make my shutter speed longer, which over exposed the sky and background because it let so much light in.  But this is still a very interesting photo because it almost captures the movement of the light and you can see the imprints and pattern in the glass. I think that this image would be interesting to shoot in colour film, for one of my final photographs because I sometimes think that digital photos can be very flat and lack contrast but film images are always so detailed and jump out at you. 

 I like this photo because you could see the reflection of the building over the road so clearly and i thought it would make an amazing photograph. I think also because the building i have photographed is black that helps the contrast to jump out and helps to being out the other building, also the  juxtaposition and contrast between the two building is good because of the different materials, times and styles of the two buildings.
I also didn't notice at the time but the sign at the bottom ways "we are moving" which in the image as represent time and how the word has changed and moved on from old to new.

 This photograph was taken outside the new shopping centre at the bottom of a display, I thought that this would be interesting because it is a little bit abstract because of the material it makes your body look like a funny shape or size. I am also aware that there is a really similar photograph, that an old photographer has taken but i cant remember his name. This image is also a grate example of how to use reflection in your work, which personally I always find interesting photographing. I think that it would be interesting to do a joiner of my photograph and the older photographers image so you can see how times have changed the quality difference.

 I didn't take a photograph of the full name of the new shopping centre because i thought that everyone would have done this photo but i didn't want to capture the lights to see if i could experiment with the in Photoshop when i have some free time. I do like this photo but i think it would be more effective if i upped the contrast to brighten the lights because at the moment the image does feel very flat and not very effective and you can tell it has the penitential to be a really eye catching photograph.

This was just a simple quick photos that i have taken while i was on the bus home one day, i wrote my name in the steam on the bus and photographed it, i did try and capture the light behind it on purpose to try and light it up a little more. I do like this photograph even know it can appear to be flat I think that the name and the light behind it really lights it up and brigs it to life. I also experimented with depth of field again in this image so that ti was only focused on the name and the light, depth of field is definitely somthing i like to play around with in every shoot that i do because i think it can really help to improve your image and to make it stand out a lot more.
