For my final piece of photography shots, I
spent a day outside just capturing shots of architectural objects and the
nature outside. For nature, I stuck straight with getting average shots of
natures scenery; trees, branches, grass/flowers and any other animals that were
necessary at the time. For architecture, I decided to not stray too far from
the cliché side of architectural building shots, but chose to capture shots of smaller
objects so they would look more define as they would be much easier to get good
shots of.
While taking my nature shots, I used a combination
of shot settings; shallow depth of field and frozen motion, in which would give
me a much greater focus as well as them being paused in a moment of time as
some were moving objects. While taking my architectural shots, I used another
combination of shot settings; shallow depth of field as well as large depth of
field with some use of landscape rule of thirds so that my shots would come out
straight forward and clear in structure and also just contain a feature of a
larger stronger focus.
When it came to presenting my final gathered
shots, I was giving feedback how the shots that contained use of shallow depth
of field was my strongest feature and stand out from my final pieces. Especially
the type of angles I had my shots positioned when using the shallow depth of
field technique. One of my shots was said to give an impression that diverts
the focus to two points in the shot because it actually looks as if it was
split down the middle, which was an unusual shot but still intriguing, which is
what I was exactly aiming for. Most of my other shots just weren't as clear as
I originally had thought so and also baring in mind the fact that all my shots
I presented hadn't been edited in a way to look more advanced, but therefor I
was only left with 3-4 well structured composition shots I could really
present.
After the feedback, I then went out again to
capture some composition shots to
improve my final piece. Focusing more on architectural photography and as I
around a much more different area then where I had first gotten some shots, it allowed
a much wider variety of ideal shots I need to complete my final piece.
