Changing of the Seasons:
Plans for the shoot:
My initial plan for today's shoot was to focus on the idea of HDR landscape photography. I have researched the technique of HDR photography and I wanted to apply it to a few landscape photos to show the dynamic contrasts between tones, colours, exposure etc. However, the weather wasn't particularly good for this sort of a technique because the lighting was quite dull and the 'landscapes' around the college aren't as interesting as I would have hoped. Instead, I wanted to make good use of the dull lighting and photograph some more 'wintery' images. I know I have already photographed some autumnal and summery images already, so I plan to combine all the images together in some way to show the contrast between the seasons.
Shoot Evaluation:
This isn't the only image I took from today's shoot, but it is definitely my favourite as this was my goal for the day. I used lots of photo filters and curves and levels to adjust the impact each season had on the photos, and I love the clear contrast between each of the four. The use of colour allows for a clear distinction between each season and the variety in the types of images makes the piece more interesting to look at. However, I may re-work this piece and experiment with various other techniques or perhaps some different images for the grid as I feel the autumn row looks quite weak in comparison to the other three.
