l’etacq photoshoot + best images

Started off my editing process by going through my images from the photoshoot and picked out the best ones that i felt would stand out well by themselves or as a joiner.

We started our photoshoot along the cliffpaths by L’Etacq, where we got a chance to capture some images for our joiners. We took photos of the rocks and their texture whether it be a close-up photo or an image of the whole bay, being up in the cliffs gave us a good range of photos to take e.g the one below. I like this image because it shows a lot in one image and you can see different varietys of texture with the rocks, grass, and sand.

After being in the cliffs, we walked down to Stinky Bay which is a beach around the corner from L’Etacq. In the bay there were lots of little caves that had all different rocks and crystals forming. There were many good photo opportunities there, hence why the majority of my best images were taken at the bay. The one below i think is really interesting, because i wanted to capture the ray of light but once i looked at my image i saw there was the reflection of rainbows from the light, which i thought made my photo look cooler.

The next two images I also really like because they show a lot of texture that might make the viewer question what the photo is, e.g the one below has lots of jagged dark lines and edges, and at first glance might not appear to be a rock, which is why i like this image as it has a conceptual element. The second photo was taken walking along the road to L’Etacq beach, i noticed there was a wall with jagged edges that I thought would make a good photo. I like how this one turned out because the colour is a contrast from my other images whilst still adding texture.

My final best image was also taken at the bay when i noticed there were crystals running through the rock, i decided to take a photo because of the way the light reflects off off it. I edited the photo in black and white so the focus was on the rock and the background darkened to draw attention to the white crystal in the rock.
