I'm really interested in capturing the clouds above in my own images.Without the scene of the rays of light breaking through i dont think the image would be as interesting to view.

I'm basing my still life around nude and seeing this gave me the idea of using a polaroid maybe to shoot parts of the body like shown above .

Evaluation

Using both digital and film had both pros and cons for me and i cannot say which i would prefer to use more than the other .There both very different from another and yet the same just very different processes.



  I  have never really dealt in digital so using the Canon 5D i felt clueless.I do think taking the camera and studio home and improvising was the best decision i could have made.I found i was over thinking everything in the studio and not really getting anything done unlike i did at home.This was mainly because i felt i had more time to spend adjusting the lighting to my satisfaction and not being a rushed process when in the studio.I also found working on my own i wasn't depending on someone there to help me if i was unsure of something, i kind of just had to figure it out.It was defiantly a learning curve and i think its something ill stick too in the future,if it would meani can do something best to my ability by working alone.
Never experienced doing landscape or using  the 4x5 camera but surprisingly  i felt comfortable and confident setting the camera up,loading the film and adjusting the camera settings.The only downfall in this area is being unable to drive i felt very dependent on people with choice of my locations i felt i would've have ventured further.Apart from that i felt i was more knowledgeable with landscape.I think i would of benefited more if i had put more time and effort in my blogging but overall I'm happy with the outcome of my images in both still and landscape.

Ghost Cities - China

After watching Edward Burtynskys documentary Manufactured landscapes i started to research other aspects of China like its abandoned cities  which i was instantly hooked on which led to various research of other abandoned buildings and cities.I decided i would try to conduct some kind of  theme through my landscape. Which would consist on industrial environment that surrounds us and the waste ruin which has been abandoned.

I think this is relevant to landscape then and .I like the idea of photographing industrial and abandoned buildings simply because i personally think its more interesting to view, like the images above.Deserted and eerie but so much detail keeping you drawn to it.

I  am immediately drawn to this image as its the not the land the captures you its the sky with dark bulks of clouds and the light trying to break through .I like how intense the image feels yet deserted.

whether its just my personal taste,but i prefer a black back drops in still life like for instance if this had been a white backdrop i think the objects would've just blended in and not had the same impact .

I like idea of using something so simple and creating two photos as one.

Still Life

Leaving still life until last i think really benefited me in the sense i gained a whole new confidence working with equipment unlike in the studio where there constant support if you need it.I feel i had more time to set and re-adjust  with light settings if needed and there was no rush process.

This image is taken from document magazine.I like how advertising of Chanel perfume has been thought of as  "thinking outside the box" .The fact the model is nude draws you right in to the selling product .

Again here the use of light is shown to define the muscles in the upper back and the spine.

I think nude can either look really cheap or it can have a kind of fine art elegance to it like this.The fact nothing is visible yet everything we can see is bare,its very subtle.what looks like cast of light either side of his or her arms really defines the the outer shape and muscle of the arms.
