Fourth Shoot - Contact sheet

This is my fourth shoot it was taken in the same location as the third. For this shoot I took advice from reviewing my artist. I looked more into planning my shots and when to take them. In the week I was taking these pictures I was constantly aware of the weather and how it would work in a picture. This made me plan out my day, which is what I learned from my artist.
This shoot was very successful as I managed to get the time stacks to work. The shoots took place on 3 separate evenings as each evening I was only able to get 2 pictures in each night before I ran out of light.
The pictures on the contact sheet are not the final edited pictures. They are a selection from the 100s of pictures I took which all have been used to create a finished time stack. There are some pictures that are similar as they would be used in the same time stack, although they are slightly different in the clouds positions and colours. The end results in most cases were really good as the ones with the sea in frame produced a motion on the water as well as the clouds.
Picture 1 turned out to be the best one due to the array of colours that are in the final picture. This was the desired effect of the shoot. I think that with another shoot I will be able to get this to work even better, I might need to add in a timer so I eliminate the movement of the camera that is evident in some shots.
After a bit of experimenting in photoshop I blended the same picture edited to lighten and darken which produced a very interesting effect which looks similar to my artist Matt Molloy.
I will look at another artist or technique to gain more influence on how to compose my time stacks. Such as looking at how film cameras need to be set up and shots need to be anticipated, doing this as this should improve my time stacks. Further more using film would like to look at composing shots better. This is the direction I would like to take my work.
