Shoot 3-Doors and arches; Straight Images

Editing Technique:

Due to me wanting as closely related images as possible, I have decided that throughout my shoots I will be using the same style of editing on the images in which I shoot (obviously the second shoot editing has varied a little). So to display work similar to the work of photographers who have influenced my work, including Bernd and Hilla Becher, the main source of editing will be putting all of my photos in black and white.

This is because I find this most successful in complying with my work. I am doing manufactured structures but incorporating it with the historic aspect of Waltham Abbey. I believe if I were to leave them in colour, the images appear too new and to me that created an irony which I didn't want to include- I was focusing on history but adding the modern day using of colour technology.

Furthermore, much like the other shoots, the other style of editing I have used to edit the following images is the use of curves so that my final products have contrast and are not "flat" but have contrast.

As already mentioned, the final series of images in which I intend to capture is a head on composition which some images did not so I used the editing tool of cropping to readjust the alinement.

Camera Settings:

Focal Length: when completing this shoot, I didn't find that it was necessary for me to have the same focal length for each image because the aspects in which I was focusing on were all different sizes so I would have to change the focal length to adjust it depending on each structure.

F.Stop and ISO: Much like the other shoots, I kept the f.stop and ISO the same this is so that my final images would be as similar as possible. My reason behind these particular settings is that I wanted a long enough ISO so that I have a smooth and clear image and a low F.stop.

Shutter speed: As I was keeping my ISO and F.stop the same to help the images suit the lighting of the different changing weather, I changed the shutter speed, if there was more light I needed a faster shutter speed this is so not as much light is exposed to the lens.
