Final Shoot

For my final photos, my location I have chosen is a small town near Brighton called 

Shoreham-by-sea. I have chosen this town because it means a lot to me personally and I know that there is a lot to photograph. I want to take photos of the beach in different times of the day to get a range of photographs. Although on the National Trust website Shoreham-by-Sea isn't one of their beaches, I have checked to make sure that some beaches are owned by the National Trust, because this links in with my brief. I have also linked my photos to both of the photographers that I researched as they both used some form of water in their work, and also, in one of Andy Mumford's photos, he's used a boat, which I have done in a few of my photos.

(For most of my photos, I was experimenting with changing the horizon line, and using leading lines.)

On Saturday the 5th of October I went down to the Old Fort and took this set of photos. I have not uploaded all of the photos, as I will be uploading a photo of the contact sheet.
These photos were taken with a Olympus Camedia E20P DSLR.

 

 

Here, I began to experiment with changing how much light was getting into the camera.

I like how in these photos you can see where the suns raise is coming through the clouds.

I used a fast shutter speed for these two photos, trying to get the sea crashing onto the rocks.

In the evening, we went to the Brighton pier, even though the pier is a building, I wanted to demonstrate that I am able to take photos at different times of the day, and I thought having the artificial light of the pier would make for interesting photos. I also experimented with the shutter speed.

I used a slow shutter speed to make the wheel have a blurred effect.

On Sunday the 6th of October, I went to Shoreham beach and took these photos. All of these photos are very bright and sharp.

These photos were taken on Friday the 25th of October.

I like the colours in these photos, because the sunset gives the sky a golden/brown colour, which works well the the browns of the stones.

I used a fast shutter speed to get these photos with the sea splashing onto the rocks.

I like these photos of the sky because they have a verity of colour. In Lightroom or Photoshop, I want to be able to brighten up the beach area, as in these photos the stones are rather dark and you can't see much of the detail.

These photos were taken on Sunday the 27th of October. This was the day the storm was beginning to arrive. The waves were very big and that was something that I wanted to capture, however I wasn't in suitable clothes/footwear and so I didn't get many photos. It began to rain and I had to call it a day as I was getting very cold and wet. 

I like the photo on the right, however I want to cut out the bottom left corner, as you can see a part of the beach.

These photos were taken on Saturday the 26th of October. You can see the contrast in the weather and how rapidly it can change within a few weeks. You can see from the waves that it was windy.

In the above first photo, I had cut the end of the boat off so I took another (the middle photo) trying to get the whole boat in. I like the third photo, however when I come to edit it, I will cut out the pillars in the background because I think they draw attention away from the boat. I like how in all three pictures, theres only neutral colours, and nothing majorly bright, unlike my photos from a few weeks early.
