Primary research

In this task we were told to work in groups of 4 which we then had to go out and photograph various things. These were; a building that was built in 1913 or earlier, building built in 2010 onwards, reflection,and a group member in front of a building i like.

Here are the photos which i took for this task in Bradford.

Out of these 2 photos of old buildings i had to choose 1 in which i wanted to use for one of my final images for my contact print along with another 3 photos.These 2 photos i took were of the same building however just at different points and angles. For the top image, i took this at a low angle and faces the camera upwards to shoot so in the picture you could see the scale of the building from where i was stood looking up at it.On this photo i like the way the pillar which is the closest object to the camera is darker in comparison to the building behind it which draws your attention to it first.

On the second image, i quite like the way i shot this as it is at a low angle however not pointing the camera directly upwards to the building. I wanted to shoot the side of the building which i did on an angle so a lot of the building was in the photo. I prefer the first image as i find it looks more historical and the daylight brings out the different shades of black on it.

This is 2 shots of the same building, however at 2 slightly different angles. The first photo i took at a low angle and the sun which was shining on it took  away the colour a bit and also the setting of which i had on the camera when i took this shot also had an effect on the colour.In comparison to the second shot, i actually prefer the angle i took the second shot at as the first one has too much of the sky in i think. However, the second shot i took has lots of different shades of colour in because of the setting my camera was on, but i prefer the first shot as it looks more unique and interesting.

Reflection

These 2 shoots are reflection which i found was the easiest shoots to do as there were lots of windows and doors which were easy to stand in front of with my group and capture a shot. I thought that it would be really difficult to capture a reflection in something, however it was easier than i thought as i managed to capture 2 shoots. I prefer the first photo as  it worked out better as the glass was slightly tinted so ther shot came out better, however the glass on the second shot was too light so it didn't turn out as well.
