What:

Romantic, landscape environments. Cliff faces, caves, woodlands, the sea and sand (beaches).

When:

Mornings, afternoons, leading into the evening – avoids harsh light from the middle of the day and allows for a different atmosphere and setting when the sun begins to set.

Where:

Possible locations:
Sorel point,
Grosnez,
Plémont Beach,
La Corbière,
Blanches Banques (sand dunes)

Why:

I’ve chosen to do this photoshoot with these locations to relate it back to the research and topic of Romanticism within landscape photographs we’ve been studying. I’ve chosen a variety of natural environments for my shoot in order to cover the different emotional responses that come from the power of nature and the sublime.

How:

Equipment:
– 2x Lens
– Tripod
Use of tripod to keep the camera static when using slower shutter speeds and to keep the camera view the same when exposure bracketing (to create hdr images).
Different lenses to have the optimum focal range and depth.

I’m aiming to purposely over-exposing and underexposing a group of images to build up layers for some hdr photos.
Checking the weather forecast (Wind strength, sunset, tides etc.) to work out the right locations for each condition.
– For example, when the wind is quite strong I might go to the cliffs or by the sea to photograph the effect of the waves on the coast.
