ESA // Experimentation

For my first experiment with my images, I decided to create panoramas. In order to do this I had to go and take enough images to be able to create a seamless panorama. To create the final panorama I used the option in photoshop, ‘photomerge’, by doing this it created a clear image with no visble breaks or repetitions within the image.

Images used:

Low Tide

High Tide

Using a tripod I took a seperate image as I moved 180 degrees from East to West of the beach, by doing this it meant that I had enough images to create an accurate photomerge to create a successful panorama.

My outcomes:

Low Tide

High Tide

For my second experimentation I decided to show a clear difference between low and high tide by cutting the photographs in half and presenting them next to each other as one whole image.

Postcard Backs For Final Display

As part of my final display I plan on printing some photographs of the back of the postcards which I have. I have edited the tones within the images to ensure that once they are printed onto matte card and trimmed down to replicate the postcard backs, that the white would show clearly.

Among the 24 postcard prints which will make up my final postcard display, 8 of these prints will be the backs of the postcards. Here are the 8 final postcard backs which I have decided to use…

Overall I believe that these images of postcard backs are very successful and will help to ensure the classic postcard aesthetic in my final display. They also represent the connection between Jersey and the rest of the world which I have been exploring throughout this project.

Possible final layout

Once I had come up with a layout with the images I had previously had developed I had the images scanned so I could come up with a digital copy. However, when copying the layout I found that some of the images didn’t work well together as some of the images where too much together and just didn’t look right which resulted in me moving them round and changing it up. These were some of the images I found didn’t look right together however, looked right once I had played around with it.
