Panorama

This is a panorama shot of Kenton School that I used for my Dan Arkle inspired project: Planet Kenton. I achieved this result by attatching the camera to a tripod and turned the camera 360 degrees in order to capture the whole of the school. When moving the camera I made sure to overlap the images so when I imported them into photoshop, it would be easier for the programme to stitch them together.

David Hockney example

This is my example of a Hockney joiner image. I took images leading up to the subject and then complete the picture by taking a lot of photographs around the subject. To get this effect, the images were layered in photoshop, rotated and positioned so that the image matched up as best it could. I think even though it isn't seemless, this adds to the effect and makes I look more natural and like real eye-sight.

David Hockney research

This is an image made from stitching together photogaphs taken of and around a subject. It is meant to represent how we see and how we don't always see a perfect picture, but snapshots of it. I like this image because the shaddow runs straight through it and gives the image an elongated affect which is different to anything I've seen before. I also like the black and white as it gives the cars and the ground a rustic affect which really works with this type of unique, edgy photograph.

Dan Arkle research

This is an image from Dan Arkle's project, Little Planets. He takes panoramic shots and then edits them to get the spherical planet effect. I really like this image because it is so unusual and not like any other photographer I've seen. I also like the affect the clouds have in the image and if they were not there, the image would completely different and not as impressive. I especially like the buildings and architecture as they are distorted in a way that you would not normally see.

Dan Arkle example

This is my image inspired by the photogapher Dan Arkle. This image was taken of my school as it was accessable and a big enough space to get the desired effect. I used a tripod to keep the camera steady when I turned the camera so I was able to 'stitch' the images together on photoshop. I then 'distorted' the image to give it the spherical shape, and the Dan Arkle style.

Depth of Field Portrait example

This is my example of a shallow depth of field as the background is out of focus. I took this picture of my friend Amy with the 50mm f/1.8 lens using natural light behind to create the bokeh effect. I also lightened her eyes and face slightly on lightroom using the adjustment brush.

Composition example

This is my example of an image that uses rule of thirds. I think this uses Rule of Thirds well as it uses both the vertical and horizontal thirds. The bigger tree is in the left vertical third and on the intersecting points which makes your eyes draw to it first. The second tree is in the vertical and horizontal third which means it is exactly in the middle and your attention transfers to it.
