Genre Photography: The Three Chosen Pictures

This image was rated number one in our genre category of movement, the reason for this is partly the time and effort it took waiting for one of the birds to do something amazing and picture worthy. As you can see the motion has been captured perfectly with added depth of field as the bird is in focus whilst the wings are not adding the effect motion blur to the image without the need for editing in any sort of way.
we believed this fitted well within the motion genre category and was one of the best images in terms of motion as it captured the powder perfectly drifting through the air, this was taken in the lighting studio which allowed complete darkness in terms of light. This worked we believed worked well with the white powder as the contrasting colours allowed easy capture of the powder traveling throught the air.

This image was also taken in the lighting studio where we used the technique of cloning to show the motion of one person in the format of a still image. The image depicts someone in a straight jacket screaming and moving from side to side, we tryed to capture the motion of this person to show the struggle and frustration of the participant which is also depicted on his face. this demonstates motion perfectly as you can see the transitions from image to image. we perticularly liked this photo as it was all done through photographic technique with no need for editing.

Genre: Motion

Blowing baby powder and capturing the motion of it spreading through the air. The contrast between the white of the powder and the black of the background made this work even better within the lighting studio.
ISO = 1/6
Shutter Speed = 10 seconds
Aperture/ F Number = 8.92 / 22
Light Flash = 1

Through Photoshop I added some motion blur towards the left-hand side Curtis and right-hand side Curtis to see if it could look like he is moving from side to side any more realistically, however both images really seemed to work fine with the idea.
ISO = 500
Shutter Speed = 10 seconds
Aperture/ F Number = 8.92 / 22
Light Flash = 3


And this is the outcome of that.
ISO = 500
Shutter Speed = 10 seconds
Aperture/ F Number = 8.92 / 22
Light Flash = 3



This was an experimental idea that we thought of to do with motion. We wanted to make it appear as if Curtis had gone mental and was in a straight jacket, but was moving really fast and jerking struggling to break out from it. We did this in our corridor within Mill Hall's accomodation just to see how it might come out (and not too good if we say so ourselves) however we loved the concept and were incredibly eager to work with it more and see what we could really pull off, given enough preparation for it.

The swans seemed to either be fighting or playing. Abul believed they were fighting, we have absolutely no idea why (presumably one of the swans stole the other one's bread from the kid feeding them maybe?), but we did know we wanted to take a photo of all the action!

In some of these photos above we tried to capture a couple of the birds as they were flapping and skidding through the light whilst in small flight. The birds were fast so we tried creating a challenge for ourselves to capture their speed in the hopes of getting some decent shots out of it. We were happy with the way a couple of them turned out in the end so mission accomplished I'd say.

The duck was just about to take off from the water into flight.

Here the duck is just about to dive into the water, which we attempted to capture as it did so.

Curtis playing dead! Just trying to see any cool and wacky ideas that we could come up and work with i guess. Inspired by 'Think!' photography just a little bit.

We found this fox dead by the side of the road. It wasn't much of a pretty sight.

A couple of swans must've swam up to us strutting thier stuff so we believed they clearly wanted us to take some good photography of them. What posers!
