Candidate name:- Charlotte Allen
Theme:- Nature
Title of the theme:- Farm life
Intentions/purpose of the photography to be undertaken
I want to take 10 images of the outdoors this will include animals, wildlife and landscape.
When taking the photos i wish to improve my photography skills.
I want to learn how to use rule of thirds, colour, shapes, composition, frames, focal point, tonal range, texture, form and perspective properly and include these in my photos.
Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work of others)
I enjoy being outdoor , i like photographing animals and landscape, so i would like to incorporate them together.
I have been brought up on a farm and enjoy photographing farm animals so i would like to include some images in this area.
The person who has inspired me in is Charlie Waite who i have already studied.
I also am interested in Scotland as my brother is a farmer on the boarders and the countryside and buildings are so stunning there. The person who has inspired me in this area is Jonathan Chritchley his work is in black and white i would also like to attempt this in my photography.
The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why
I have got a Canon powershot S5 IS 8.0 mega pixels with a 4 gb sansdis. Unfortunately i can not change the lens on this camera so hopefully i will be able to borrow a camera of my fathers friend this is a Canon EOS 450d with a Sigma DC 18 - 200mm 1:3 .5 - 6.3 lens.
I would like to buy a new camera but at the moment don't really know what i want and don't want to just go out and buy the first thing i see, i would like to learn first what i want to get out of the camera.
As i am shooting outdoor i will take an umbrella with me and cloths to clean the lens just in case the English weather decides to rain.
I would also like to invest in a tripod which will keep the camera nice and still and will produce a sharper picture.
I have now been out and brought a new camara its a canon 550 d with a ef-s 18 - 55 and a canon EF 70 - 300 f/4-5.6 is lens.
Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual message
Close up shots or the use of a telescopic lens to define detail and caricature of the subject.
Black and white to make objects/subjects to stand out.
The use of depth of field to draw the attention to subjects.
Try different levels of light to get different prospectives of the landscape.
Try different times of the day for different lights.
Change the ISO settings and shutter speed on the manual settings on my camera.
How light quality can be used to help convey the visual message
Sunny and bright if possible
Overcast weather might help with the black and white work.
Try different times of the day to experiment with light to create different moods.
Try changing the ISO settings and the shutter speed to get the best out of the camera.
Safety considerations
1) Be aware of the environment around you.
2) when photographing animals take someone with you to watch your back in case the animals become territorial as you are in there environment
3) If going alone always let someone know where you are going and a estimated time for your return.
4) When in the countryside make sure all equipment and litter is taken with you as this could be eaten by animals or spoil the environment.
5) Be aware of where you are going don't go on to private land as this could upset and offend people.
6) Be careful when taking out and putting away all your equipment this is not a danger to yourself or others but could damage your equipment if care is not taken.
