Who
I won’t be taking photos of anyone in this project as it is about taking photos of natural landscapes with no man made structures and preferably no people either.
What
I will be taking photos of woodlands/fields/beaches/cliffs, some of the photos will have a main focus, others won’t. I will also be changing the exposure on the camera to get a variety of tones, highlights and shadows. I will also attempt to focus on one particular part of the image (shallower depth of field) e.g. flowers in the foreground, then having the landscape showing e.g. trees, as the background.
When
Throughout the next two weeks, I will try and take photos of natural landscapes where the sun is rising or setting, I will most likely take photos of the sunset in St.Ouens because that’s where the sun sets. I will try and get some photos at night of the moon reflecting off the sea. As well as this, I will try to take some images at midday in the woods to get streaks of light shining through the trees.
Where
St.Ouens, St.Cathrines woods and St.Peters valley. I will take the photos from high points and lower points to get variety.
Why
I will be taking photos of different landscapes at different times to get a variety of different photos. Photos taken at sunset will have warmer tones compared to a night time shoot with colder tones. I will also be trying to capture images and make them relate to the theme of Romanticism.
How
I will use a tripod and steady structures to take images at a balanced and steady position. I will also use the rule of thirds to line everything up right for some of my photos. I will change the exposure bracket to get more variety in my images and so I am able to make HDR images.
