This shoot required a little more planning, as I knew that i needed more “winter” type images but as the weather kept getting warmer I wasn’t sure how to go about it, until I realised I could use the early morning light to show coldness in the same way I used the light at sunset to show warmth and summer. SO to achieve this I woke up before sunrise and went out to a secluded beach, La Coupe, where there should be a good view of the sunrise. Unfortunately there was quite a lot of cloud cover that morning, but I think it had the intended effect and overall I think it payed off.
Initially i had about a hundred and fifty images, but a lot of them could be discarded because they were either too dark or too bright, so I ended up with 23 images going into the next stage.
Then I went through and cut out the duplicate images using the “compare” function below to choose which image worked best out of all that were similar.
Finally I had fifteen images from this shoot (plus a couple taken the evening before that fit in with the rest of them) which I felt properly conveyed the sort of cold, wintery vibe I set out to produce, so I’m glad it worked out.
