Close Up

CLOSE UP

It was a beautiful day today so i decided to take advantage of the bright light and do my first mini assignment 'Close Up'. The relevance of the weather is due to the way i took the photographs, i setup a table with my prop on next to a window that had bright light shining through and i placed my large white reflector in the window to create a nice diffused lighting for my prop.  

I wanted to use something i love and often use as my prop to show the main components of it so i decided to use my beloved Mamiya Rb67 medium format camera.

 1/125 second exposure

F/16

Iso 100

I used a 70-300 mm macro lens.

 

I am pretty happy with these images, i consider product photography and macro my weakest genre of photography so i found this assignment quite challenging but overall i think these images cover the assignment 'close up'.

Short Assignments

I am going to be set short assignments throughout the year to co-inside with my main projects, this is to improve different areas of my photography. I think this is a good little exercise to do i just hope i have time to do all my work alongside these mini assignments.

Anyway i was given my first mini assignment on Thursday which is due in on Wednesday. I had the choice between 'Hull Fashion', 'Cycle City', '5 Seconds' and 'Close Up'. At first i thought i was going to choose the '5 seconds' assignment or the 'Hull Fashion' one due to my interest in both fashion and portraits however i decided to leave them until i start my Main Fashion/Portrait brief. As it will keep me focused on that main project as its based on the same thing.

Therefore i decided to choose 'Close Up'

Short Assignments

Blogger

As my first post i wanted to point out how easy it was to create a blog using this site however so far i prefer   'Tumblr' as it has a much easier customisation options and has thousands of themes and templates to choose from. Making the overall blog look more professional.
