Photo shoot plan

For my photo shoot, I will carry it over a few days, in small chunks during the day. this is so then vary my outcomes as the clouds would have moved and created new patterns to photograph. I will take these photos in different locations, again to help vary the patterns and shapes of the clouds. For this project, I can carry out my photo shoot independently as I will not be needing a model.

For these photos, i uploaded them into photo shop and experimented with the exposure levels, brightness levels and contrast, this was to enhance the ripples and the texture i saw in the clouds to bring them more to life.

Final Photo

When I first look at this photo, my eye is suddenly drawn to the 3 similarly shaped clouds following a diagonal line through the photo, this is due the composition of the photo. When taking the photo, I used a fast shutter speed in attempt to capture the texture and liveliness off the clouds, a fasted shutter speed meant that there was no time for movement from the clouds. However, a faster shutter speed also meant that there was less time for light to reach the lens, this made the unedited version darker. To change this, I uploaded the brightness and contrast to lighten up the photo. I also increased the exposure as the unedited photo was under exposed due the high shutter speed and low lighting.

I especially like the contrast between the orange clouds and the blue sky. In this photo, the two colours heavily compliment each other, making the photo more visually appealing.
