Precedent.

After much thought I am using the sword in the stone as a precedent for my project. my idea is to have a sword of some sort strike down into the rock and  then the rock reacting to get hit, breaks off and then in some way whether it be turning into molten rock and sinking the sword into itself swallowing it or cracking itself open to swallow the sword in some way and then after that the rock turns into metal so its like the two objects have combined.

precedent two: Pheay Rong

Pheay Rongs composes his photos really well and it gives me an idea on how to shoot long grass, I especially like the use of depth of field he uses in these photos.

Precedent two: Depth of field

I Think for my project 1 since I am dealting with the space surrounding and in tall grass that having a good understanding of depth of field will be important. Upon researching I came across Victor Geer who had good examples of depth of field and even an example of how he did it so effectively.

He used Tilt-shift photography which is a photographic technique that relies on the use of special lenses to simulate a shallow depth of field which makes real life objects appear as miniature models. The effect is achieved by tilting the lens relative to the photographed image to achieve a very shallow depth of field.
Tilt shift encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus to produce an image that appears sharp.while Shift is used to control the perspective. 

Precedent one: Gareth McConnell

I chose Gareth McConnell as one of my precedent photographers because he has a lot of his photos to do with nature which relates to my project and I like his use of depth in the picture above.
