sixth shoot edits

For the 6th shoot I used time stacks for a 3rd time, so I could use the influence and what I had learnt from using film cameras added to my previous shoots at looking at Matt Molloy.

The picture was taken in the middle of the day, I saw a gap in the cloud and wondered if it would have a different effect with how the sky would have the illusion of being dragged across the sky. This effect is different from the rest as even though its blended to lighten it kept all the dark clouds around it. This isn't one of the best pictures that I took but it was an experiment. I took the pictures every second, this shows how the clouds are moving fast. Even though it didn't have the effect I wanted it showed that even when there wasn't a lot of light in the sky there are bits that will show up, which helped to identify potential pictures from the rest of this shoot

This picture was taken in the morning and as a result it produced a different type of colour which was a different experience due to all the other time stack shoots have been taken at sun set. The original pictures had more dark clouds in but due to the blending they have disappeared and reviled the colours. This picture looks very painted which is the effect Matt Molloy uses. I think that this has been one of my best shoots as I have improved how I compose and take pictures. 
This was a sun set from a bedroom window, the sky ranged from brilliant red sky to  dark sky. I tried to section the horizon and the sky into thirds to make it more aesthetically pleasing. The foreground is darkened as they its blended to darken. It was taken over an hour, just before the time of sunset. It was on a timer of 15 seconds which I should have changed to a smaller number as in this picture I didn't capture the motion as much as I thought it would.
This is a picture of the needles on the isle of wight, It was just after sun set as my timing was off for how long it would take me to walk, the needles are out of focus but the time stack was only 7 pictures as I have gave up, you can sort of see a motion in the clouds.

This is another time stack where I saw gaps in the clouds, this one worked a lot better due to the direction of the clouds going over my head, rather than across, This was possible as I changed my location. To somewhere completely different and was able to get pictures without lots of houses and buildings in the foreground, This is very similar to how Matt Molloy does it but I was always unable to find a location with cloud going over instead of in the distance.
This is also one of the better pictures i have taken due to the range of colours, the direction of the clouds and how its been composed. The film influence helped me to notice and recognise a potential good shot from a bad one. This encouraged me to plan ahead, This was an earl morning shot, I had to get up early to capture the pictures and this produced a wide range of colours and a strange trails to the clouds which I should have continued on for longer but i was unaware that i would create this effect from the clouds I was taking a picture of
This was taken from a window, this is evident from the reflection in the bottom left corner. It consists of 100 pictures taken through the day. The day I chose had a very slow moving sky, this is why it has some elements of sun burn on the top right. I composed it to be in thirds with the sky taking up the majority of the picture. As this was taken during the day there are not as many interesting colours or features in the picture.
