WHAT:

Landscape environments highlighting the theme of romanticism.

Cliff faces, caves, woodlands, sea, sand (beaches), hills, fields.

WHEN:

Late afternoon, leading into 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 include:
Sorel point, L’Etacq, Grosnez, Plémont Beach, La Corbière, Blanches Banques, La Pulente, Bouley Bay, Bonne Nuit Bay.

WHY:

I’ve chosen to do this photo shoot 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:
-Phone
-Tripod

Use of a tripod to help keep the camera stable while using slower shutter speeds as well as keeping the camera view the same while exposure bracketing (to create HDR images). Additionally, I will be experimenting with different exposures to create a contact sheet of images to use for exposure bracketing to produce HDR images.

I’m aiming to purposely over-expose and underexpose a group of images to build up layers to produce HDR images. It will be beneficial to check the weather forecast (Wind strength, sun set, tides etc.) to work out the optimum time to photograph certain locations to maximize the effect in my photos.
