Shoot 3

In this shoot I want to go back to the shoot in the previous project where I played around with the shutter speed and ND Filters. I wanted to do this because I really like the outcomes and I think this could allow me to develop this ideas further, also in that shoot it was cold and there weren't any leaves on the trees and now there are and I feel the green will create a new effect.  Colour is still going to be the main part of this shoot and this differs from the other shoot. Also Mark Raymond Mason's work has the type of affect I would like to achieve.

 

The image below is an image I took from the last project. 

Equipment Needed:

Camera

Extra battery pack
ND filters 

Experimenting with borders 

Looking back at my intentions for this shoot I am happy with the outcome. Drawing from a previous shoot, I created a new series of images were I explored blur. From the previous shoot in the other project I found moving the camera in the direction of the trees worked the best so this is what I focused on. I feel the green element with the blue creates a new blend of tones and makes the colours more prominent in the images. 

When editing I enhanced the colours slightly and tried out a range of different crops. I found a thick white border worked the best because it frames the picture but doesn't take anything away from the content of the image. I think I might try and crop a series of images in a square because this worked well and I want to see the images as a collection.   

Overall I am happy that I went back and extended a previous shoot and I feel I have produced some new and different images. 

 I am happy with this image because I feel sections of this image would look good cropped and I feel the blur aspect of this image is just enough to abstract the image but not too much that it is unrecognizable.
When editing this image I just enhanced the colour. I will go back to this edit and crop. I feel this will work in a square. 




This shot is the most abstract and I feel it works really well. I like the that me moving the camera has created a brushstroke effect on the image. The blues and greens blend well together and I feel this could also work in a square crop. This image I feel has aspects of Mark Raymond Masons work because of the leaves and the blur but I have kept the colour because I feel this adds to the image. 

Extended Edits  

I feel the square crop really worked well for these types of shots because they look like samples of something. I'm really happy with this shoot. 

In my next shoot I think I am going to take inspiration from  Hiroshi Sugimoto seascapes because I really like the simplicity to them and the atmosphere the images create. These types of images I feel work really well as a series.
