20200104-Assignment 1 ideas

Whilst trying to understand what it is this assignment is about. Ideas start to unfold.

The idea of a long exposure to hide things within the composition came to mind. Using an ND filter to cause an intentional blur.

Could I use a few interesting locations that are busy majority of the days and show a different point of view.

A few ideas that I’ve taken this Saturday whilst walking around Windsor town centre. Initial thoughts were to capture the changing of the guard but it’s not the time of year to see the bright red tunics marching past. So I looked at a few locations one being the start of the Long Walk and a few in town.

The one that I liked the most was of a young man busking and singing the song ”Dancing on my own” by Callum Scott. By isolating him and keeping the shutter open longer it seemed to work with the lyrics of the song he sang. ”Dancing on my own”

20191231-Project 3 Reportage-Ex 30 Col 30 BnW

I shoot probably 85% of the time using the in-camera Fujifilm Acros film simulation which is black and white. I really enjoy seeing images in BnW. This for me is stronger than colour. Colour for me works best at night. I believe BnW tells a better story of what it is your trying to capture. These images were taken between Blackfriars Bridge and the Tate Gallery London.

From a personal perspective I like the B&W image more than the colour. These are SOOC unedited or cropped.
