Item & location - Homework

Due to the days disappearing fast and a full weekend of prior commitments I eventually got the chance to read the homework assignment, with a pressing deadline my prefered idea was to take the images in and around the office.

Firstly I sketch out a few ideas which I thought would meet project brief these quick sketches would help me to focus and develop my ideas a little further. The 5 photographs would depict events throughout a typical working day, I tried to take each of the 5 photographs with a different shutter speed, F-stop and ISO setting and manual focus, the images were also taken without using flash, I chose to use my 50 mm lens (macro) this choice of lens would give me a shallow depth of field and would help to concentrate the eye on the chosen item, I think it worked better for four of the images.

After looking at all the images, I made my final selection of five which I felt would work best in a square format and met the brief, the only post production undertaken was to crop the shots in Photoshop to an 8” x 8”  size and a file size of 300 dpi, during this production process I did not look at any manipulation to colour or applying filters.

My first reaction to the images would be, to keep a closer eye on the white balance next time...
