Matt Molloy review


After my third shoot, I came to the conclusion that I needed to develop my composition and attempt to get the colours and the motion on the sky into one shot. Although I felt that the pictures didn't turn out as I wanted as they didn't reflect my artist as much as I would have liked. This was due to how I didn't think plan out the composition. Further more I chose the day were it couldn't work, this is because of the clouds.  
Matt Molloy says “Sometimes the clouds are moving quick and there’s lots of them. If I stack too many photos from a time lapse like that, it can get a little messy,”  This shows that I will need to plan out how I edit the pictures, which I will need to experiment more.
“For every day that I don’t shoot a time lapse, I probably shoot two the next day,This shows that he puts a lot of effort into the picture taking and when he can't do one day he will do more later. Which is something I will need to put into my own work.


Winter Warmth - Matt Molloy


This s a picture that was taken during the winter but has a warm glow about it, Molloy does this with his pictures and names them things that relate to the picture. It is another time stack done my Molloy. The colours that have been captured are red and orange where the sun is setting.
The time stack was taken using a tripod and a timer. This has been taken over an hour or so, and has been stacked with 100s of pictures.
The artist says that he does at least one time laps a day and experiments with different days, which preserves the day, as you won't get the same effect twice as clouds are forever changing and moving in different directions. 
It is a landscape picture, with a lake and trees.The trees are all darkened due to how the blending of the pictures has been set to lighten so all the dark spots are over exaggerated.
The nature of this photography is you never know what you will get, with this picture it is slightly different. As there is normally more movement and more colour in his work, this does have colour but in a slightly different way to the picture below. This picture displays a warm feeling, this may be due to the title or the sun. Added with all the reds and oranges which we relate to as being warm.


Red Swoosh - Matt Molloy
This picture is called Red Swoosh, This describes what the picture shows, this is like a lot of his work, and how he names his pictures. The picture has been taken at a sun set where the colours of the dark sky collide with the suns rays bouncing of the clouds. This gives it a warm feel.
This is another time laps of his, which his work primarily consists of. 
The trees are darkened as the picture has been blended to lighten. The picture shows  that the clouds moving at different speeds with some streaks smoother than others. This is the effect I will be trying to get with my first shoot, but I that wasn't as successful as I thought I would. Molloy plans his out and keeps persevering with shoots as some don't works and that's how photography works.
