Project 14- Changing Light/Changing View.


For this project the aim was to be able to understand how as the light changes through the day by moving your position you can take advantage to produce different images of the same location. I chose to use the local church as the focus for this project but have struggled with the weather of late so i haven't completely finished yet (will post the rest later), what I've produced right now I've put below. I decided to produce my work in black and white because i think it shows the contrasts much better then in the original colour version.


The first shot was taken early in the day but what differs from the evening shot is that the view isn't spoiled by the amount of shadows produced by the surrounding trees. I chose to compose the shot this way because of the way the light was catching the side of the building but was also not producing enough shadows to completely put the area containing the grave markers in the dark.





With the sun heading towards the horizon and shadows becoming to great close to the church i headed up a nearby hill so i could take advantage of the way the light was falling on the one face of the building making it standout strongly from the surrounding background. What i do like about this shot is the way the trees have such a variety of shades produced by the light and the way the church seems surrounded.
