Jersey War Tunnels

Shoot

As a class, we were given the opportunity to explore and photograph the War Tunnels. Because the lighting is very poor in the War Tunnels, my image quality was a lot poorer as the shutter speed and aperture had to be very low and slow to enable as much light possible to the lens. I wanted to photograph objects, architecture and other quirks of the War Tunnels. 

Edits

To manipulate my images, I used Adobe Lightroom Classic cc. Most of my images needed their lighting adjusting, so I manipulates the light, darks, whites and blacks. I also adjusted the white balance slightly as a few of them turned out orangey due to the poor lighting situation. I then made other manipulations to my images depending whether I thought they needed to be cropped, have the contrast played around or adjust the clarity. Overall I'm quite happy with my images as having to adjust my camera to the poor lighting and finding the right settings for the right locations were a challenge.

My Favourite Images

These are my favourite images because I feel it features many key componants of WW2, three of which would be used through day to day life. I like the close up shots of the type writers and the switchboard. I like the contemporariness of the images and you don't need to see the whole object to realise what it is. I also like how the newspaper is behind. The newspapers were censored by the German command, and the bars can signify how the island were prisoners as even their access to knowledge was banned.
