Fourth shoot - contact sheet

This is my Fourth shoot it was taken in My garden area for the initial experiment of my idea to use tissue paper, but in the experiment stage of the shoot, I taped the paper to my subject. Then the other location at the beach for a better background and setting for my pictures. For this shoot was attempting to create blur motion, just like in my 3rd shoot. Due to some more research into my artist I discovered how he took his pictures. This was a big development from my use of towels to using sheets of tissue paper. I looked more into planning my shots as I needed to use a 10 stop filter due to the long exposure and also planning how to move the paper as it slides across the picture. 
The paper was dropped across the camera and shaken while holing it on a string to get the sense it levitation in the air. I did this with a long exposure and a small aperture but in a few attempted to do shorter exposures which produced some nice effects with more vibrant colours.
 It was the middle of a sunny day when i took the picture and even though I was using a 10 stop filter I still had difficulty to use the Technique that Bischoff uses. This may have been to do with how Bischoff took his shoot in a set of caves and was therefore able to console the light levels better than I was able to in daylight.
The shoot worked well as in some cases it showed how my artist Bischoff, was able to take my pictures in raw, which benefited me in the post-production process as I was able to easily remove the blue tint that I was having problems with in my third shoot. This has enabled me to get pictures that replicate the style used by Bischoff. I consider this a successful shoot.
There were a few pictures that worked well in this shoot and some that didn't due the trial and error approach of this technique. 
After a bit of experimenting in photoshop I was able to enhance colours in the pictures purely by editing in raw.
I am now looking into my final piece of work. I really like this style and would like to continue this. My idea is to use the colour blur to represent emotions with the colours to the location of the shoot. I intend to use different colours to represent different emotions and use a selection of 5 places to take the pictures to produce my final piece. I already have a picture from this shoot to use that has the colours of yellow and blue with show happiness, sunshine and tranquility. This accurately represent my love for the beach which is my starting point for my final piece.
