Focus - Brief 4 - Hannah

Brief 4:

"Just to formally set this weeks brief:

I would like you all to set up some kind of still life/object at home and photograph it at different
times of the day. The object should have some personal significance. I would like you to observe the different lighting conditions and adjust you camera setting accordingly. Please keep bracketing and experimenting a little with ISO if you feel there is a need. I would like you all to present 3 photographs of the same subject so that you can talk about each one from a technical and creative point of view".

The first things that I thought of for subjects for this week were objects in my new, beloved kitchen, (specifically my range master). However with only a shaded west facing window, the light only get interesting in there late in the evening, so not ideal for this weeks brief. So I went outside in search of subjects, where the change in light would be more dramatic. I took some trial shots on Monday afternoon, as the weather forecast was best on Tuesday for this week. Although I actually took about 200 shots of 9 subjects I decided on those of my Astra's badge as its reflective surface really made the most of the changes in the lighting conditions:

This photograph was shot at 4:20 (10 mins before sunrise) 1/5sec, ISO 200 and f5.6.

This photograph was shot at 16:55 1/420sec, ISO 100 and f5.6.

This photograph was shot at 18:12 1/420sec, ISO 100 and f5.

I think this is my favourite of the photographs I took as the clouds are so dramatic.

This photograph was shot at 22:20 (30 mins before sunset) 5sec, ISO 200 and f5.6.
