Light writing

 This process Is with a setting of a low shutter speed in order to capture the movement of light in the photograph. A low exposure is also helpful because of how long the shutter is letting light in, the photo can be over exposed easily if more light is let in. this technique can used to create blur or interesting shapes around a still subject.

Pros 

Cons 

Eye catching effects can be created. 

Its hard for other aspects to be completely still.

Slow shutter speed gives less chance for shadows to be visible.

Other light movement may take away from the main focus 

Illusions of movement can be captured 

If a specific movement is wanted it may take multiple tries to get it right. 



The next image has two guys possibly denoted as in a fight or battle, with their two different stances and seemingly motion caught on camera, they're outside in the evening and although the facial expressions are unclear neither of them seem happy. When taking this photo once again we used the proper sparklers and instructed each subject to stand as still as possible while moving the sparkler around this effect captured the movement while having the subjects remain in his most possible focus. This is due to the fact that I handheld a DSLR camera in order to capture this photo as it would take away from the detail of the movement of light. We chose two different movements that successfully came out conveying their movement allowing the audience to see what they're doing.


This image shows a girl behind a star, she is outside in the evening however the exact description of the girl is unclear as she is not in focus nor is the background for the location. When creating a photo for light writing we decided to use the props of sparklers as they are easy to write in the air with, we let a few sparklers and tried a few different shapes to see which turned out the best and eventually agreed on the design of a star as her face is in the centre of the star. I stood about two metres away from the girl and focused on her however handheld the camera so that when taking the photo because of the long exposure she wouldn't be in focus anyways. I set the shutter speed to about 3 seconds to give the girl enough time to draw the entire star slow enough that it would show up clearly in the finished result.


The final photo shows a man standing in the centre of the frame facing the camera with both hands towards the lens there is a small part of light writing however this adds to the picture and makes it seem as though he is mid action rather than just finished a motion. When taking this I slightly crouched below to be looking up at him partly this is to give him a more powerful appearance as he is doing emotion connotated with the MCU universe Doctor Strange move, the fact that the circle and like writing is incomplete adds to the effect and was purposely used so that the man would still be in clear focus as rather than having a few seconds for the shutter speed there was only one second. This meant that he was in focus and there was still decent amount of light writing it will have to convey what is happening to the audience as well as enough lighting in the background to still capture the foreground in light without a flash.

Triptych

Image
  This photography style includes three consecutive   images   that together create a story board of events. One photo may not make as much much sense as when it is put with the rest to finish the story.  Pros  Cons  The possibilities increases from one snap shot to three, meaning its easier to show the movement of a subject.  If the photographer isn’t careful then viewers may be confused at the actions between the images and not put together the motion so well. Viewers can admire the media pieces for longer and have more to denote.  Some may feel limited to only three images.  To show different elements to the same subject. If separated, one photo may not make sense.  These three images when placed together in the correct chronological order create a story. The first part of this story shows 2 girls in a conversation with neither of them looking too happy, the girl on the right is seemingly talking while the girl on the left seems to be...

Digitally manipulated

Image
  Not all photos come out as planned, this is where digital postproduction manipulation takes place. This process means that an editor makes changes to the images as the final product to make the image appear differently   Pros  Cons  If something goes wrong with the photo it can be fixed.  Changing one thing may effect the rest, like brightening the image may appear pixelated. Editing can make the photo prettier and more appealing to those viewing  If caught some audience members can be angry and unpleased  If the location of shooting was limited, some people may never know. The morph of reality to gaslight others may come around to make other things seem fake  This first edit is of two girls lying down on the grass this photo was taken during sunset in the middle of a field, therefore there is not much light and needed an extended shutter speed. Both girls are looking directly into the camera with the edited version showing one girl standing out...

Event photography

Image
  The use of high-quality images during an event is to capture the importance of the occasion and the business of the activities. To fulfil  a number of  requirements like remembering the  memories, or  getting natural moments in candid photos of movements.  Pros  Cons  Photographers don’t need to instruct anyone on what to do as subjects are already taking part  Not all attendants will want to be photographed. There is often multiple things happening at once making images more interesting  If in a dark room, then lighting can be an issue. If there is lots of subjects, then it can be quick and easy to continuously find things to photograph.  It is easy to miss a good moment on film and not have another chance.  This first image shows a girl looking up with party lights all around her surrounded by multiple different people, the audience can tell that this is a party from the context clues and the multitude of others around the ...
