For my photography assignment we had to choose one of ten titles these were. Love, life, power, freedom, urban culture. the effects of weather, celebrating diversity, making a living, the build up and saying goodbye. Once we have chosen from the list we we have to take 10 practice photos to see what will need improving for when it comes to getting my final pictures, from experimenting before hand with the rule of thirds, aperture, and ISO these will effect my images so I have to contemplate these factors while prepping and taking my final picture. As I've chosen weather. The location will be Southsea as it's easy enough for me to go to via the bus. And there are many good times for me to go their, I don't have a set place at Southsea as then it gives me a wider range of places to choose from. I have chosen weather as there is no limits when it comes to weather as any form of weather is fine, although if it's raining and I can get the right shot it will potentially be the better choice of weather. I wont need any models in my pictures as I don't want that to take the make my photo look more professional due to the setting and it's all dependent on if it's sunny, cloudy or raining. This could be problematic so before I go out and take my photos I will need to check the weather forecast to see what day is best, then I can book out the camera equipment from college on the day I have chosen.
The equipment I will use will be from the college it will be a Canon camera, which allows me to take the best possible picture required for this assignment. To avoid camera shake I will take a tripod which would be useful if I need to get a shot that includes me to get a lot of the location in or if I need to set a timer on the camera this will then avoid any possible camera shake.
The first thing I will do once I've collected the camera is to make sure there is enough battery life as I don't want to get to my location to find out the battery is flat, I'll also check to see if the memory card is in the camera as well. These are standard processes to make sure the equipment I have is correct and good to use. Once I've done these I will set the camera to manual that will allow me to control the zoom, and focus mainly when taking my picture. It allows more freedom for myself taking the picture as otherwise if it's on automatic the camera will chose the settings that they think is more suitable to my lighting or zoom.
The camera angles will vary from a wide selection, middle shot, long shot, extreme long shot and close up. I will take a mixture of all camera angles to give me a verity of different pictures and I can then chose the best one from them, however I think a long shot will be most likely the best as I've researched other weather based images and the best seem to have the weather as the main focus if that's rain or clouds then a little be of scenery which can make the image you've taken stand out more to the eye.
To control hard and soft light I will have to adapt to the lighting and the sizing of an object that could possibly be in the way of my shot, however with weather I may get away with it as there shouldn't be anything to cause a reflection or shadows.
