I am going to be looking at movement photography for my exam. Specifically looking at tidal movements and how the landscape changes and contrasts between low and high tide.

My photographs and photo shoot ideas are inspired by the work of the photographer, Michael Marten, his series of images that look at the differences between the high and low tides and looking at the ebbs and flows of the sea.

Another photographer that has inspired my idea is Eadward Muybridge, and his work where he looks at the movement on the galloping horse and other animals and I plan to present my work in a similar way. I am hoping to present my images in a grid format and then on the blog I am hoping to present my images in a gif as well.

For my photoshoots I am going to want to plan around the low tides and the high tides, I want to ensure that the photographs are clear and that the subject that they are focused on is clearly the tide. In order to ensure that my photographs are clear, I am going to try and avoid photographing at sun set, because I will end up with a glare from the sun. I will also try to avoid clutter within my images such as signs, cars or large groups of people which may draw away from the subject of the photographs. To avoid people I am going to try and photograph landscapes that may be more isolated to the public and therefore will have less cars and people within shot. I will also need to make sure that I use a tripod in order to have the horizon level in all my images.
