Week Two

Below is week two's set of images. Not long after making a joke in class about illness not effecting photography...oh how I should eat my words. I was ill all week but went out for a very successful photo shoot on the Sunday. I took influence from Greg White for these images. I will go into White's work more in a later post and during the evaluation.

I love this first image. It somewhat relates back to some previous images from week one with the metal-sky combination. I took this while standing inside the scaffolding. It's a shame about some of the glare coming off the metal but it's nothing too major. I love these "abstract" images I take using odd metal structures.

This is the widest image I took from the shoot. It shows a number of engines scattered around the room in all their wonderful glory. At first I wasn't sure how to take the image, whether or not I wanted it from a lower angle but I decided to take it this way because it displays more of the room. I had to crop out a bit from the top right-hand corner because of a huge amount of light coming in the door.

I took a range of macro images during this shoot but this turned out to be my favourite. I've never done much macro photography, especially where engineering is involved but they came out very successful and I hope to do more soon.

In the workshop were a number of booths where students could do work on a good old black board. There was lots of scary looking equipment which looked like something from Doctor Who but I was reassured that it was all safe to photograph without protective clothing. This image stands out from the other workshop images due to the green and yellow colours in it.

This is probably my favourite from the shoot. I have always been interested with the look of 'lonely spaces' and I think this gives that impression. The space was in fact a cubby-hole in the wall of the workshop. The shadows are the best part in my opinion, it adds a great deal of mystery to the image. 

Below is another example of a 'lonely space' image I took during a studio shoot;

I feel this weeks images relate somewhat to the idea of a 'photo documentary' what we have been discussing in class. The way the images represent one space but ranging from a shot of the whole room to a close-up macro image.
