Plan

Where – This photo-shoot is going to take place at the end of St. Ouens Bay , L’etacq.

What – I will be photographing different areas of the sea and rock to get some different angles and dynamic photos. The wind and swell will be strong so this will create lots of white water which forms powerful waves.

When – This photo-shoot will be taking place on the weekend with the weather being an overcast of rain and heavy clouds making it seem darker than usual in the afternoon.

Why – I have decided eta do this photo- shoot to capture different parts of the sea at different angles and to also have a bunch of photos to play around with on Lightroom to edit and create an interesting piece.

camera settings will be as such – 800 ISO , Exposure – Between – 100/200

For my editing I firstly made the image straight and cropped out any sky and trimmed the bottom to create long rectangular photos. Next I decided to turn them into black and white and played around with the contrast, highlights and shadows. Finally I changed the levels of how much white and black was allowed into the image. Black being the rock and white being the foam from the sea. Setting these final 6 photos together and laying them out to seem as close as one image cut into 6, I came out with this…

Evaluation

This type of photography is more seascape than landscape. I find this type of photography interesting as when capturing different angles of a rough sea smashing against rocks form great powerful images that can relate to romanticism. Editing these images to be black and white in my opinion give the photos more depth when put in a group as above. Cutting out the surroundings and trimming the images to fit as a long rectangle make these photos effective as you wouldn’t be able to identify where the images was taken. The surrounds are not to be seen, therefore more depth of thought goes in to the images when analysing them. If I was to do this photo-shoot again I would change the scenery a bit as capture images from completely different beaches and also go in different weather conditions to compare my images from now.
