For this photoshoot I went into town to one of the car parks to try and how how this cliff has now been used and changed for us. Then I wanted to go to Fort Regent as I was trying to show overpopulation in jersey as it is quite a present issue for jersey and I thought the fort was a good place to do so as it is one of the highest points which looks into town.
The editing process
The editing for these images were quite simple I tended to crop the image to begin with and the just start to adjust things such as the highlands and shadows as it helps to give the photo better dimension.
I also changed the temperature of the image to more cool tone as the sun was white bright making the sky just very colourless and the buildings were extremely warm tone.
For some of the other photos I also did some photo merges as I feel as if my photos always come out very clear when I do that so for some of the images where I’ve got objects which are very far away I tended to use that.
finished edits
I based this photoshoot off the overpopulation in jersey. According to the government of jersey website Jersey is now at 106,8000 people.” the surplus of people coming into the Island – exceeded 1,000 for the fourth year in a row.”.
Overall I’m quite happy with how these images came out. I think the message is stronger in the stop photos as I think it better shows how busy town is as you can see all the buildings which are completely covering the town. And then having all the cars filling the roads practically stationary.
I think if I was to do this photoshoot again would try and maybe have one buildings which stands out or something and position it with the rule of thirds and I think that lots of the picture appear to be busy but missing something. However I do like the contrast
between the sky and ground as in most of the images you can see almost a sharp line between the two which makes the town appear more dramatic and busy due to how calm the upper half of the pictures appear.
