Work Record 3
Plans for shoot:
For my third shoot I want to expand on my first using natural frames to frame the image. Such as windows, doorways and archways.

Research influence:
nd on my first using natural frames to frame the image. Such as windows, doorways and archways. This shoot will be focusing on the same artists as the first: John Szarkowski and Eugene Atget. They used framing devices in the urban landscape, using existing elements rather than creating the frame.

My Best images (target 4 - 6)
Images that require improvement:
With this photo I used auto focus which caused the frame to be in focus rather than the subject. For this photo I would just need to reshoot it using manual focus making sure that the background is in focus.
This photo has the same problem as the last where the frame is in focus rather than the subject. This just requires a reshoot using manual focus.
AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.
My intention with this shoot was to continue from my first shoot with regards to create images that used pre-existing frames instead of creating frames. I followed my intentions of using doorways, windows and archways. Following with artists research would require more shoots using people's as the subjects rather than a simple landscape.

AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.
For this shoot I used my cannon 5D, keeping my f. around 5.6 and shutter speed around 1/500 with an ISO of 250. My camera settings worked for this shoot and the most of the photos did not require changes to the settings but some photos did require switching from auto focus to manual focus. This was because the camera would focus on the glass or have trouble focusing because of reflections on the glass, using a manual focus rather than auto helped dramatically with achieving the photos I want and to make sure that my framing devices worked as a frame rather than becoming the subject.

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
For this photo I want to crop out the top part which does not add to the frame and then use levels to make the frame darker allowing a focus on the car.
I started by cropping the top part of the photo out which was a small part of the wall that the window was in. I kept the frame intact by keeping the actual window frame.
I then moved on to use Levels within photoshop to increase the blacks which were mostly the frame. This allowed for the frame to become much darker which allowed for the subject to be framed much better by removing all distraction that wasn't within the frame.
With this photo I want to crop out the left side of the image as it is not part of the frame nor subject. Then I want to use levels to create a darker frame to highlight the subject more.
I started off by using crop in photoshop remove the left side of the image that was out of focus, not part of the frame and not part of the subject.
I then used levels to make the dark parts of the photo darker. This included the frame which soon became mostly black which allowed for complete focus to be on the image
I started off by cropping out the left side of the image. Which allowed for focus on the contents within the frame.
I then went on to use levels to create a dark frame that allowed for focus on the contents within the frame. I also made the whites whiter allowing for the snow to become brighter which created more of a focus snow and removes focus from the frame.
AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
With this image I like how the frame breaks up the subject and uses a harsh contrast between the red of the car and black of the frame. The frame being entirely black allows for the subject to be without distraction, it also adds the effect that it was added on in post.
With this photo works well with its frame but the subject of the photo is too bland and basic but with some progression I could use the same frame with a different subject to create a much more interesting photo.
Progression:
To continue from this shoot I want to use people as the subjects rather than the landscapes, that would link to the artists I have researched and would progress the images further as they currently lack an interesting subject.
