Work Record - Shoot 3

Evaluation:
For this final shoot the aim was to capture the sun as it was rising over the horizon. Also I planned to continue from the previous shoot where I took photos with long exposures because it was still dark and it meant I could still use a large exposures. To achieve these photos I looked what time sunrise was and decided it was best to wake up a 5 in the morning so I didn't miss my chance to get the sunrise at 6:30.

One of the photographers I researched inspired me to get the initial idea of a sunrise for this shoot because they do shoots in both sunset and sunrise.The photographer Shazeen Samad does experimental sunset and sunrise shoots were he takes a photo of sundown normally and then adds in lots of different colour into the image and changes the natural colours of the image into colours closely linked to the original of the image.

Once I was out shooting there was enough light to start with the long exposure again. This time I was further away from the pier and took photos of something else. I was also still using the neutral density filter of 0.6 to enable me to use the longest possible exposure. For the first few images I used a tripod but then decided to carefully place the camera on the floor and put it as close to the sea as I could without getting it wet. This proved to be easier then I thought because likely each placement was just far enough not to get wet but close enough to get the water come right up to the camera. This allowed for some amazing photos which I will annotate and go into more detail down bellow.

The final part of this shoot was to actually capture the sunrise. This was hard to do because there was clouds covering where the sun was going to come up from. This meant that I wouldn't get the sun in my images just the light from it. Luckily after shooting the sun manged to get in-between the clouds allowing for it to be seen. Like the previous day this wasn't for very long as the clouds then covered it again.

Here we see the long exposure has caused the sea to look rather calm and not rough and choppy like it was. Also we don't have the same misting affect because it was for a much shorter time then the ones done the previous day. The thing I like about this image is the clarity of the rocks and black and white I added in Lightroom.

Here we have one of my favorite images from the day. As you can see there is a long exposure on this image as is evident by the mist affect. What I love about this image is how I got the mist affect on the small rocks on the ground. The reason I got this was also due to the angle at which I took the photo. As I mentioned above for some of the photos I took photos by placing the camera on the ground. This allowed me to get the mist across the rocks which makes this image great. It looks like there is a mist that is slowly making its way though a forest of rocks with a large mountain range on the right on the image.

Here like the image above I placed the camera on the floor and had a long exposure which also created the mist affect. What I like about this image is that there is a large central rock which draws in the viewer focus to a specific point, that point being the rock.

Here we have an image were I manged to capture the sun just above the horizon. The main thing about this image which I like is the colour manipulation that I did to the photo in Lightroom. It allowed me to increase the colours of the sun and make it less brighter and add more colour to it.
