Grandad's old radio - An idea I worked on based off of my previous memory project. This is a close up of a dial of my grandfather's old radio. I took this photograph and chose this particularly of it's relevance to the project. I also like the fact that it looks like a mechanical eye in the way that I've framed it, one saying that comes to mind "Your eyes are the window to your soul" - Also if you look closely you can see the reflection of me taking the photograph, which is the creation of a new memory itself as well as the photograph itself. I chose this image today to bring for the interim crit due to its level of depth and relevance. I may proceed with this idea and experiment further with different angles, different ISO and better framing.
Guitar Strings close up - my girlfriends guitar, extremely close up using manual focus. I like how mysterious this image is and enjoy the contrast between the strings and the inside of the guitar.
Guitar Strings close up 2. The same as before but closer, and darker due to the ISO change.
Guitar Strings shot 3 - An image from further out and a brighter image due to the ISO change. I enjoy how pale the white looks and the texture of the wood, I also like that the shadow covers most of the inside of the guitar.
Guitar strings shot 4 - same ISO as shot 3 - but a closer view allowing less to be seen.
An image of today's work - A contact sheet, a printed copy of my grandfather's clock image and an image that I enjoy that I brought into the crit today.
Gutter shot 1 - Another idea I was experimenting with was sequential imagery. I began taking shots of my gutter every day to see how many cigarette butts would be added. A good way to monitor bad habits as well as showing progression and new memory.
Gutter shot 2 - same as one with ISO change and shutter speed change
Gutter shot 3 - Another shot with ISO change and shutter speed change. Clear lack of focus
Gutter shot 4 - An even brighter image due to the ISO change. I eventually abandoned this idea as I found it extremely difficult to focus manually, I also have had stronger ideas and decided to explore those with my time instead.
Interim Evaluation:
This week we have been assigned a new photography project and have been briefed to produce 1 final image that ties in with our recent future memories. We are midway through this project and had an interim crit today. I enjoyed the crit but found it hard to analyse some photographs at first. I have had numerous ideas which I believe is a good sign of my creativity flowing and my mind adjusting to the demands it is being given. I have yet to establish my clear idea as of yet and have been experimenting. I am enjoying this process but at the same time I am feeling the time constraints and am eager to make a final decision in good time for me to create my final image in a comfortable manner.
