Shoot 7

For this shoot I want to go back to the place I took the tree top images and try out some different ideas and see if this is the idea I want to continue with for my final pieces. 
I hope going back will make me more confident with the idea of tree tops. 

Equipment needed:
Camera
Extra Battery Pack 
ND filters







Doing this shoot has defiantly made me more confident with my disision for my final shoot and pieces. I feel these images show nature and abstract photography and I feel that the idea is a good conclusion for my final project. I really like the movement of these images and the arrangement of the compositions. 

When editing I mainly decreased the saturation and adjusted the curves, levels and contrast to enhance the individual images. When editing my final pieces I will have to ensure that the images are cropped in the same way and are all the same size.

Overall I am happy with this shoot and I am ready for my final shoot. 

 This image is the most abstract image from this shoot and I really think it works however I don't think a collection of images like this will work as well as a collection of images of the image below. I like this image but as a stand alone.

When editing I decreased the saturation but then added a tint of blue and I think it really works well. I think this would be a good thing to try out when editing my final pieces.



This image is the type of image I am aiming for for my final shoot and pieces.
When editing I made the image black and white.

I feel 10 images similar to this image will look really good as a display and as my final pieces.

Shoot 6

In this shoot I want to try all the different ways of moving the camera to try and establish what works best. I feel open space will be the best place to try out all these movements.
Going into this shoot I have mainly stuck to horizontal and vertical movements but I want to make sure these are the best ways to create the images I want. 
I hope that this shoot inspires an idea for my final outcomes. 

Equipment Needed:
Camera
Extra battery Pack
ND Filters











Looking at the images I have produced I feel that vertical and horizontal movements work the best becuause the other either were unrecognisable as nature or just didn't work with the forms of nature. With my final pieces I want the images to be abstract but also recognisable as nature at the same time and I feel these two movements work the best to achieve this. 

When editing I experimented a bit with some of the images but I mainly made them black and white, adjusted the curves, levels and contrast to suit each image. 

Looking over the image I am really happy with the images I have produced and I think these images are heading in the right way for my final pieces. 

 This image is one of my favourite images so fur because I like the layers in the image and the movement. I like that the viewer can tell that the image is of nature but it also has an abstract twist to it.
This is one of the images I experimented with and I did this by playing around with the curves on PhotoShop. I feel this image a dark and ghostly feel to this image and I think it works.

This image is also one of my favourites because I like the fact that the viewer can tell that the image is of a tree but it also shows the top. I left the green from the leaves in the image because I felt it needed some colour because the most part of the images has a very light tone to it.

When editing I only changes the contrast of the image because I wanted to make the tree tops stand out more.

I really like the idea of a series of images of just tree tops and I think I will try this again in my next shoot.
