First 120mm film images (Personal Work)

These are three of the more successful images that I took with my first two rolls of 120 film, the main reason that there’s only three, is because I loaded the film a little wrong with both of the rolls and some of the images I took over lap each other, but I feel it’s better to learn when it’s not too important, unlike when I need them for a project.

I think the first image that is up is the best one I have, the really shallow depth of field with the sand being in focus, then the horizon blending of into the unfocused part of the image, I also think the lighting is really nice. I don’t think that I did that well with the films but I’m happy with the few images that I have got and it could have gone a lot worse.

William Turner (Independent Research)

I’m doing a quick blog post about William Turner, because he was mentioned in our critique yesterday, and he is one of the painters that I know and whose work I am particularly fond of, the reason he was brought up is because of his dramatic and dynamic sky’s, the extensive use of reds, yellows and oranges making up a beautiful yet dangerous looking sky in tandem with the rough sea, creating a feeling of movement and danger. My work was brought up because of the sky’s I managed to get, with the sun braking though the clouds, giving them an amazing set of reds, yellows and oranges, making my sky’s quite dynamic, and giving them impact.

It would be interesting to go down to the beach on a very stormy day, hopefully with a good sky and set a camera on a tripod, to get the motion of the sea and the beauty of the sky, and create a similar type of impressionistic looking photograph, where the sea is blurred showing motion, could be interesting personal work.

Visual studis exhabition responce

This is my picture for my visual studies quick assignment in response to Yingmei Duan, whose work to me is based around dreams and happiness and how we work towards them all the times in the hopes that they’ll come true. So my idea is somewhat cliché but look as doors as a way to show the future, the way I’ve done it with the light coming though washing out the wall a little to show what we’re working towards, and how we can never really know how it’s going to turn out, this is also blocked by the door which we would normally open representing the working side, how we have to open the door and work to get to where we want to be.
