Movement, Work Diary

Today we were set with the task of capturing images including movement. Originally i had the idea to take pictures of moving cars going down the road, this didn't quite work as i planned because i wasn't able to take photos of cars moving very fast in that environment. Instead, i had to change location and focus on taking photos inside of buildings that have a lower level of light. Originally this came with its own set of complications as I light is critical for capturing movement. Once I found some well lit areas around the shopping centre I was able to capture some interesting examples of movement across different scales and genres. I was able to get a good amount of variation in some pictures.

I chose this photo as it shows an example of movement on a person. I like this because it shows two expressions of the subject that have been urged into one. The look of this photo is similar to an illusion as it is difficult to tell where one image ends and the other begins. We can also see examples of contrast between the white background and the dark clothing of the person.

I chose this photo because it is an example of movement in an everyday setting ad situation. The side of the frame is full with blurring of movement of the doors and of the people moving. The image starts in a chaotic way but as you bring your eyes to the centre of the image you can see the image begin to slow and become clearer. We cam see examples of pattern of the tiles on the floor. Examples of depth can be seen as the image begins to change over longer distances.

Progression:

 but if i was to do it again i would have tried to find some different examples, i would also learn from my mistakes with the lighting and be able to focus more of my time on finding interesting examples. The use of the slow shutter speed offers some interesting looking results that I would like to use in my own work. This effect would be good if I wanted to find ways of showing light or depth and would cause my images to become more eye catching.
