Final Evaluation

My initial intentions were to explore the way that I could use the camera and the features that a camera can use. I think that I worked well and was able to achieve my intentions. I started with the use of flash, linking in my artist Heather Buckley. She used the idea of lighting up the area using flash which gave a bright and vibrant setting to her pictures.  Then I found a different technique called time stacking and linked the artist Matt Molloy with my work which produced some wonderful sky line pictures which showed the passage of time excellently. This took time to get the pictures for time stacking. As you had to use an evening to get the all the pictures you needed , which could have been from 10-100 pictures. After using film as my influence which helped me look at another view point of a camera. This helped me compose better due to the functions of the film camera slowing my thought process for taking pictures which I applied to another time stack shoot. The difference between my 2 artists are how they take the pictures, as both are very bight and colourful oh whole. With Buckley her work is very candid while Molloy is very planned and thought out. I could have done some of my shoots initially better and used their influence later on which I tried to do later on but not to the extent I wanted. I also would have liked to spend less of my shoots on time stacks and used another technique to show off the view point of the camera. Although saying that I would have preferred to have more opportunities to do time stacks because I enjoyed making them and using the influence of Matt Molloy which I have linked to my final piece.
