Sixth contact sheet


This is my 6th shoot, after my adventure with using a film camera I decided to use the skills of composing and thinking before I shoot to use in a time stack, which is an influence from Matt Molloy. 
This shoot I had my final piece in mind, to combine with some other shoots to produce my final response. Due to this I wanted more impressive sky shots. Most the pictures were taken on a hill on the isle of wight. This is a totally new location than all my other shoots, and some were out of my bedroom window to experiment with using a timer and what different times will do.  I also experimented with different times of day, such as on the bottom row It show pictures from sunrise , middle of the day, and sun set retrospectively. The pictures from the morning turned out to work well but with less colour in the sky. A lot of the pictures are very dark with a bright sky which is how the time stack effects what I am trying to achieve, the time stack. 
I also developed a few into time lapses, which gave a different view on the passage of time. This is something Matt Molloy has done too, which can be found on Youtube.
The film influence has encouraged me to plan and think about the shot I am composing before I start. I think it has improved my work massively, As my planning has improved and I have optimised my time to getting the best pictures, such as how long it will take, etc. I have also improved my composition and how I think about where the ground is in relation to the picture.
For my final piece I might do a re-shoot, or just use the pictures from my project so far. To make a piece with an array of sky.
