Maritime Museum Contact Sheet

We went to the maritime museum, taking photos of all of the history and facts from the boats and ships from the past and a lot of photos from the St Helier Harbour, showcasing fish such as crabs, lobsters and even a special lobster the fisherman brought out for us.

Here are some photos that are my favourite that I have taken and started to edit.

These photos are based around the harbour and the lobsters the fisherman caught. The man then let us take photos of him in his working environment with firstly his cafeteria with his dogs and work colleges, and then him lifting out a big lobster from the back-top to show to all of us and put it on the floor.

I took these photos of these old-fashioned, (some new) boats either being stored just waiting to enter the sea. Or, some boats being worked on as you see in the last photo, with a man sanding/drilling the bottom of it, potentially drilling holes or drilling something off of it.

These are some photos I really like with the B/W filter on top of it to create a dark/old style to them.

I like how the 3 faces are looking into the camera with a little grin/smile with the dog eyes peeking at the camera too. The men were in the back of the harbour which made it feel very sketchy with two blokes sat talking to each other with one on a bike with a dog on a seat.

These are some photos I have brought the saturation down and only shown the main colours of the photos, for example, the boots on the door, the door and window frames are all this orange/red colour, so I made everything else Black and white and brought out that colour a little more than standard.

The man moving the fish from the boxes into little plastic clear bags, I made the 3 bright lime green boxes stand out, but, I also wanted the mans boots and glove to be brought out as the lime green/orange is a nice opposite blend of colours that pops.

I felt that the mans apron was the main part of this photo for me, as the fish weren’t very colourful/bright, and that is the centre stage object/clothing. So, as I brought out the darkish-blue, I also saw that the air-con behind him was the same colour so I left that still blue to give the photo some front colour and back colour.

For the next photo, I saw the big pillar on the left side of the photo and knew, that this had to be the main coloured-part of the photo. So, I made everything else B/W but I saw this little barrel next to it and had to keep that with the navy blue to add a little clash of the colours.

Some other photos I have edited are these photos.
