Easter Holiday Primary Research

3/4/13

I've took these photos on a camera instead of my phone, and the quality is about the same I would say. But the photos are still nice. These photos were all took at about 11:00 am and I love the colour of the sky in them. 

These first two photos are my favourite. I think they'll be a lot more useful when it comes to using light in my work as the sun is really dominant in one, and highlights the clouds in the other. Its just ashame there are trees in the photos.

Took more photos of the sky in the same area today. This time it was about 2:00pm and I used a different camera. This camera is only 5 mega pixels, but its got 10x optical zoom so I could get some cloud close ups. 

I think it will be interesting to try and mimic the sun in the photo to see if I can get the contrast between the sun and the blue in the sky . 

I think these photos will be more useful to paint from, whereas yesterdays work well as photographs. I think these would also look quite good as a collage. But as individual pieces they're a bit boring. Over the next week or so I'm going to do some experimenting as see if I can come up with effects that look similar to these photos. It will be useful for development.

These photos were taken at about 7:30pm in Manchester. There all a bit samey, but I think they have a different tone to photos I've taken before. They seem kind of miserable, and there a smaller range of contrast and colour in these. I still like them though.
