Evaluation
This project was a split/ duel project on
landscapes and still life having 14 weeks on the project as a whole, with
landscapes being ten weeks and still life four. We started with still life and
I didn’t have a clue what to expect, so I went into the project with a clear
mind and didn’t think much about it to begin with. But after spend three or
four hours in the studio trying to get the light right, which i found that to
be biggest challenge of these project.
So I ended up spending more and more time in the studio lighting
different objects in different ways I finally ran out of time to practice and
had to do the shoot, it all seemed to come together on that day, the natural
light was terrible. I had practiced for that and quickly set up the studio
lights and looking back that was the right decision and I am really happy with
my final print. There was also the fact that we were using to completely
different formats and the challenges that I would be facing with each would be
different, the first was digital, now I’m not a big fan of digital preferring
film, but I handled the Cannon d5 quite aptly my. The 5’ 4’ camera I had never
used before and the experience was eye opening, I really enjoyed the experience
and will definitely be using it again. There are benefits with both formats,
with film being that you can take a lot of photo quite quickly but printing
multiple c-types can be quite expensive, were as film especially large format
gives you extraordinary detail if taken correctly, but get it wrong and you can
easily waste money taking multiple photo. The landscapes part of the project
was my favorite I really enjoyed the experience of using the large format
camera but I a made a few mistakes the main one being the I double exposed one
my negatives.
