Showing compositional techniques

Image
  I took this shot from a low angle tilting upwards, I had to lower my ISO as I was shooting outdoors and was looking upwards, so there is a lot of light meaning the white balance would be too light and I wouldn't capture a detailed shot of the building. I also shot it in landscape as the building is quite wide and I wanted to get as much of that in as possible. for this shot I raised the shutter speed to 1 second in order to blur out the motion of the cars and to generate a shallow depth of field with a golden ratio as the Y statue is framed  in the centre while the lower third of the image is the blurred cars for this shot I initially wanted to take it as a portrait however felt I would capture less depth and focus too much on the people, I also lowered my aperture but raised my shutter speed as I wanted a really nice shot of them walking that was clear and not blurry For this i needed a mount as I needed it level with the water, so I had to improvise and use a stone as no tripod

LO4 M4 - Metadata

Image
Metadata is data that is specific to an item to give an insight an describe what the item is, in this case it is specific to a photo, so it will give an insight as to the name of the image, the copyright holder, a description of the image, the location it was shot at, the time and date it was taken and the file name. This is all great for allowing people to protect their work by making it clear as to who took the photo and the date it was taken and location further give evidence that it is theirs and stops other from taking any credit for it. EXIF data - this data is the more technical side of metadata as it looks into the settings used at the time of capture, the type of camera and the model, the lens used, so it is easy to specify exactly how the photo was captured and also how it has been edited, for example it will show for my shots that they were edited in Adobe Lightroom. IPTC data - this data is focused more on the contents of the image, it is mostly used for copyright protectio

P5 - final shots

  For my photos I named them all based on either the area in which I was capturing my shots or to describe the motion that is happening within the scene. I named my folder Beautiful Doncaster named after the brief and theme of the entire project
