Shoot 1 – Long Exposure

I plan to take long exposure photos of the bay at high tide, I will have to do this in the evening, as it is too bright in the day and the images will be overexposed, as the I’m using two gradual filters. 1 right way up and 1 upside down to create a homemade ND filter. I will also use a tripod to create a sharp image, to reduce camera shake, and I will use a 2 second delay to give the camera enough time to stabilise after I press the shutter release button.

Shoot 2 – Drone

I will use my drone (DJI Mini 2) to take aerial photos of the bay, the Heritage site, the islet, the pontoon, and the boats/jet skis. This lets the viewer see a angle of the bay that they have never seen before. I can also go up on top of the headland, which gives me access to a wider overall angle of the bay.

Shoot 3 – Underwater

I will also create a set of underwater photographs of people jumping off the pontoon. To achieve the summer look it must be sunny. This will also make the underwater section more clears as the sun is lighting it up. I will use a GoPro and an attachable underwater dome. This allows me to create a half above water and half under water shot. When in the water i can also take photos of the headland around the bay, as the angle offers a unique perspective.

Shoot 4 – Minimalism/Objects

For this shoot I will collect items/objects from the beach and take them to a makeshift studio and photograph them. I will use a black background and 1 light source to create some interesting photos. I can also use these photos to experiment with some photo manipulation and recreate an alive oyster in Photoshop.

Shoot 5 – Day Long Exposure / Shots

I will go down to Boulay Bay when it is high tide in the day time and attempt to take long exposure photos of the waterfall, the water, and water splashing off of the rocks. I’ll need a tripod and ND filters. I have taken some photos for another project, which I feel would fit in very well with this project
