FINAL IMAGES - LANDSCAPE

I’m glad to present you with my final Landscape images regarding my Assignment 307 Location Photography (Theme I).

One of the most important parts of capturing a good landscape image is understanding quality of light…There are many terms to define the various qualities of light, such as soft or diffused light, hard light and so on, but the purpose of landscape photography – the most important part is knowing how the light interacts with the landscape at certain times a day.

For my first location I choose sea…who can blame me as its everyone`s photographers favourite subject. As I was telling you before I had a chance for two weekends went down to Cornwall, the most amazing places where I ever had been searching for best golden hour scenes – as the most part, the best time to photograph a landscape is just before sun rises and right before sun sets.

So going through all my hundred’s and hundred’s images I manage to get down to the most representable 22… from was even harder to choose final 10, as all 22 will be presented as a slide show.

SETUP LOCATION: Lizard Point to Lands’ End via Porthleven. Right by the edge of England most southern and western points.

LIGHTING: Early mornings and late afternoons – evenings, using all the best light of Magic hour.

LENS: WIDE ANGLE LENS Tamron’s SP AF 10-24mm F3.5-4.5 Di ; KIT LENS Nikon 18-55mm VR lens; TELEPHOTO Tamron AF 70-300mm lens.

CAMERA SETTINGS: I use Manual exposure mode, to get full control over Shutter speed and Aperture. Early mornings and evenings were captured using Bulb setting.

ACCESSORIES: Tripod Velbon DF-50 and various Cokin filters.

Final 10 descriptions will comes in the very end of the course together with theme II images.

Presentation of my work

Including pictures in presentations is a simple and powerful way of expanding your expressive potential as a speaker. Pictures communicate at levels beyond the descriptive possibilities of words. At the same time, not all pictures are created equally. Choosing the right images, and using them in the right ways, can greatly impact your effectiveness.

As today`s photos are mostly displayed on electronic devices I decided this year try something of this range. Usually printing out my final images I thought it`s time to make some changes and go for alternative. As my two themes in Location Photography is based in different locations also presentation methods will be different.

For my seascape photography I`ll be using digital photo presentation - the photo collection.
