DERVIN. Still Life photography.

Took these images on a still life lighting table. The ISO was set to 16 for the bottom light and 11 for the top light.

Tom’s Evaluation

Over the past five weeks I’ve learnt many different techniques and aspects of photography which are; Marco photography (taking really close up, detailed photos of small things or small sections of large things.), Street photography (taking photos of interesting people and things happening on the streets.), Aperture and depth of field, fast and slow Shutter speeds and Painting with light.

My painting with light (using torches) didn’t work out so well because I couldn’t get the hang of writing words with the torches but with practice I was able to draw certain shapes well and painting with light using already placed lighting (street lights etc.) I thought the photos I took with them were quite good and I was happy with the way they turned out.

My macro photography , I think went well because I really tried to find interesting things to take macro images of- and by doing this is made the result of my photos better. I really enjoy using this technique and I will defiantly be using the skills I learnt for it in the future.

My street photography went good because I think I took some really interesting photos and saw things that could have good stories to match them- making them all the more interesting although I do think I could have done straight up style better if I’d of had more time and more confidence I feel rude taking pictures without peoples consent and I feel bad asking people and not knowing how they’ll react.

In the future I will practice these techniques more, defiantly focusing on the ones which I feel less confident doing such as street photography and light painting. I hope to better my skill within all of them in hopes to clearly see which technique I’m best at and in the further future I might take it further into a career.

DERVIN. Studio Portraiture, high key lighting.'

High key photography; I used two lights both powered at "2.9" on a white background.

Health and Safety.

whilst in the studio;

1. Wires should be taped down to the floor, and gathered into places where they'd be more safe i.e, not in the middle of the floor, off to the side where people will be less likely to trip over them.
2. If in low key lighting, keep a torch on your person so that you can safely find the lights without danger of falling or walking into things.
3. If using props make sure to put them away after use and store them neatly in order to avoid getting them broken and avoid people falling over them.
4. make sure to turn off all lighting equipment after use and never leave the clients such as little children in the studio room with the lighting to avoid any danger of them exploring and hurting themselves.
5. if any chairs are around, make sure they tucked under tables/out of the way to avoid anyone falling over them or tripping on the legs.

Whilst in the darkroom;

1. Keep torches at hand so you can always find your way out of the room safely.
2. only allow a certain amount of people in the room at a time to avoid over crowding and people then being unaware of there surroundings- people must be able to see clearly around the room to avoid any chemical spillages.
3. always wear gloves when handing the chemicals.

Whilst outdoors;

1. Be aware of the roads and cars.
2. be considerate of other people; if they don't want their photo taken if they do etc.
3. bring a camera bag incase of sudden weather changes.
4. use the camera strap around your neck to avoid it getting knocked out of your hand.

slideshow.

Here is a slideshow I made on iMovie. This is another way of show casing my photos that I have explored. By putting a slideshow of my photos with a song I find it a more interesting way for people to engage in my photography. I changed the timing of the photos transitions so that it fit with the music and I tried to make most of the photos within the slideshow around love as it fit with the song, over all I think the slide show turned out well but if I'd of had more time then I know I could have added more photos and effects to the slideshow.
