6. Work Record 7

Work Record 7

Location - Hurst Spit, Lymington

Distortion method - Crystal ball

My Plan for Shoot 7 - 

My plan for this shoot, I would like to capture the sun on the beach and across the ocean, whilst using the crystal ball. The weather for this shoot is forecast to be sunny.

Research influence - 

As with the other crystal ball shoots, my influenece for this was Stefan lens.

Contact sheets - 

My best images - 

Images that require improvement - 

Although these are nice images, when I edit the images I would like to straighten them up, as the camera is slightly downhill.

AO3 - Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

In this shoot I decided to incorporate the use of rocks and wood to hold the crystal ball, instead of using a hand. I think that with editing, some of these pictures will be very good, however some will need more refining than others.

AO2 - Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

To take my photos I used a Canon E10 1000D, with multiple lenses.

AO1 - Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

The research that I did for this shoot was very helpful. I looked at individual beach photos, some of which included the rock stacks. I think that the ball on top of the rock stack is a very powerful image due to the distortion through the ball being so clear.

AO4 - Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.

I think that this shoot was very successful and I am happy with the final outcomes.
