Final Piece Review

For my final piece I did the question Temperature.
I used 6 picture to create my final piece going from hot to cold. Each photo was edited to give it more of a look to be either hot or cold, changing the brightness, contrast, exposure, offset and gamma correction. I framed each on the show what the temperature is, framing the sun of centre to focus the viewer to a different point first.
In each picture picture the lighting is natural light, being the sun or just the light through the clouds.
What I liked about my final piece is how the edits turned out and how I presented the Photos. What I didn't like is how where about the photos are joined together, this is due to a mistake when trimming the photo after they had been laminated.
Overall I am very happy with my final piece but my bad point is next time i will find a different way to present the photos.

Review of research

The Research I did helps with my final piece of temperature. I will interpret this into my final piece by using some of the techniques used by some of the photographers. Techniques like having a low angle and how to position shots. I also like the types of shots that are used in my research.

final piece plan

 for my final piece lm going to print each photo off onto a separate pieces of paper. them have them laminated and hole punched at the top and bottom of the photos and string them together  underneath each other to create a hanging stream of picture 

Experimentations

what i attempted to do with this photo was the try and get as low angle as possible without catching leaves in the foreground. however i was unsuccessful on this. I used a shallow depth of field to create this but found it didn't work out

Again I tried a shallow depth of field to focus to make the diggers arm the main focus point. I also used a shallow depth of field to blur the sun and the surrounding to make the digger arm the main focus point. 

For this photo I used the two trees to frame the photo. By doing so I manage to get it so the mist is right in the centre, making the viewer draw the attention to the mist. I used a sunset mode on this but it didn't work as well as I had hoped it would have.

This images was taking from a high angle, this makes the play shed look small and insignificant. I framed it so the play shed was in the centre of the image, making it the main focus point. 

For this photo image I used a 18mm zoom to get in close to the wall on the right to give the photo its look. I positioned this photo for so the lines on the wall directed the viewer to the window in the wall. I used a sunest mode on the camera when talking the photo. This brought the colours of the stone out and made the grass look greener. 

Once again I used a sunset mode one the camera, this made the leaves seem a little more green and the sun to appear brighter. I placed the sun of to the top left to draw the viewer to the left. I tried to put a slight shallow depth of field of the picture, to make it look like the sun is shining through.

This images was take and a long shot, creating a setting. It was taken in a sunset mode to give the photo a brighter look, making it seem more of a summer look.

Research

By The River

what i like about this is you can see just by looking at the surroundings what tim of year and then have a understanding to what the weather my be like. As you can see the leaves on the floor are reds and browns, you know its Autumn, meaning the temperature is going to be slightly cold but not very hot.

What i also like about this picture is how the photographer has captured the movement of the water by adjusting the shutter speed, but not by much.

When  first look at this photo, i am drawn straight to the tree that is growing on a angle.

Also the colours in this picture are vibrant, giving the picture a slight warm feeling, but you can see but the surroundings it may be cold.

A shallow depth of field is used here, having the small stream out of focus, so the viewer is gently forced to look towards he tree.

Valley landscape

This is a interesting picture to look at as it has many points that grab my attention, but my main focus point would be the the hill on the right hand side.

The colour within the picture is rather dull, which may be a effect put in the picture. But the dull colours may represent a cold day in the hills/valley.  Having dull colours within the this image may give the viewer of the image where about the image may be, or where it could be. This photo has a very deep depth of field to sure all of the landscape is clear and easy to see what to culture of the area is like.

The Beach

what i like about this picture is how the photographer has captured the landscape. The first point i look at is the small dark patch in the bottom left of this picture. This picture has a low contrast as the greens and blue blend together. 

When the viewer looks at this picture it may give them a warm feeling or bring back a memory about a beach they went too.

To me the photographer has use the rule of thirds to help him or her place the hills in the back with the small reef, to get the best out of the surrounding. The photographer has used a deep depth of field, as it is an establishing shot and shows all of the beach.

SunSet 

What i like about this photo is because of how the photographer has used the rule of thirds to place the palm trees to the right hand side of the frame, this works very well because of where the sun has been placed. The photograph seem to have a slight effect added onto it, to give the photo more of the sunset look, it could have been a setting that the came had. this photo has very bright and dark colors standing out, giving this picture a high contrast in some places, where the sky meet the palm trees and the sea line. The colours in this picture have a warm feel to it, indicating it may come from a warm place. 

Rock in the Sand

I like the techniques used in this photo, and how the photographer has placed the rocks to create an affective picture.

The way the photographer has placed the surrounding creates a very barren looking place, this then gives the feeling it is a place where no many people go.

I believe the rule of thirds has been used as the rock in the bottom left is not right in the middle of the picture, this creates a better photo and gives the photographer some more room to work with.

It looks like there has been an effect added onto the image to make it a little darker to create then barren sense about it, also giving it a slightly cold and mysterious feel about it. The main focus point for me would be the rock in the bottom left as it is one of the largest rocks and is the rock in focus most.

The photographer has used a deep depth of field to create the image and making it an establishing shot of the beach.

what i like about this photo is the techniques used. 

I think the rule of thirds was used in this for the way this photo has been framed. the the trees being dead centre and with the sun also. 

I like how how the photographer has used the sun to create the sellout of the palm tress, this is can give the feeling of it being hot as you associate palm trees with hot climate.

the one think i dont like about this picture though is how the photographer has left the top left of the picture empty. this makes me think that the picture wasn't framed correctly.

This Photo could represent hot because of the hot air balloons in front of the sun. Also the colours are warm colours with orange, red and yellow.  What i like about this photo the framing and where the photographer has placed the balloons. I believe that this image may have been edited or had a filter on the camera. I also like the way the balloon is covering the sun making the balloon a solid black colour.

idea

I had a think about my idea and changed it to temperature

Brain Storm

My Final piece idea

for my final piece i am thinking of doing models and using them in a creative way to make my final piece.
how ever i have now changed my idea and will now focus on temperature and how that effects the landscape and my surrounding areas
