Photoshoot 4

 I liked this photo a lot mainly because how the background is blurred with the lens but still capturing a bit of sharpness which helps in creating a good depth of field. the reasons I didn't end up using this photo in my final is because I felt it lacked enough relevance to my other photos and that I'm not sure how effective the blur was too overwhelming.

I'm happy I with my last photoshoot and quite sure I have the photos I need now to make up my final images. In this photoshoot I was trying a few new things such as photographing in the "golden zone" just before sunset, the only problem being they didn't fit too well with my other photos I'm considering for my finals. One photo that I think was very successful was the top photo because it shows a very low perspective of being in the grass with even being underneath the abandoned fence. I can see myself using this as one of my finals.

 I wanted this to look like someone or something looking out of a "grass cave" essentially to get a POV feel. at first I experimented with this by wrapping grass around the lense to make it a kind of tunnel of grass to show the entrance but I couldn't seem to get it right doing it that way so in the end I ended up using the sleeves in my sweatshirt and I think It worked quite effectively apart from having to pre set the manual focus before putting it in my sleeve because I couldn't change it while it was in there.

I think I made a bit of a breakthrough here with finding an old fence wrapped in wire stuck in the long grass and with the long grass growing around it, it has creative the exact type of space I need for what I want to show with my photos. I'm heading more towards a  narrative of showing maybe a bug or something that lives in the long grasses point of the view and emerging from the dark parts of the grass to show how vast it can look too the creatures living in and around the long grass. I feel that I'm pretty close to my final images but I'm still planning on doing one more small photoshoot.

Second Shoot

 So far the closest I think of getting right in there showing the space in between the long grass. the next step is to find a way to get in even closer and experiment more with depth of field to use it in a more effective way.

 I thought this was a good idea getting a picture of the spider nest among the long grass but I don't think it is as effective as I would of liked considering its starting to go more towards object photography than I would like.

Im a lot more happier with this photo-shoot considering I am starting to get some more in depth shots of the tall grass close up. I still don't feel like I'm there yet though. I think I need to get even more into the grass and show it from a perspective maybe of a bug on the ground or just in such a way to illustrate how much space there actually is. My far away shots seem to be failing so I have decided to drop the idea of a far away shot entirely.
