Wide angle and close-up - work diary

Within this shoot, we experimented with wide angle and close-ups. These two techniques were different to one another in terms of difficulty levels. I found that taking close-ups was the easier of the two techniques as I understood the meaning of the technique more than that of wide angle. As I struggled to understand wide angle, it was a little harder to capture it within a photograph. Although it was a struggle, I thought that the challenge was interesting to complete as it really tested my ability to capture the techniques within different shots. Within the shots, the best two photographs were chosen and selected. Those two photographs are evaluated below.


 This photograph was from the close-up shoot. I think that this is my best photograph out of the ones taken. This is due to the fact that it was clear and easily indicated that the flower was the main point within this close-up shot. It helped that the background was a different colour so it made it easier to be seen. I think that although this photograph is good as it's in focus, I had trouble with the camera and therefore was a little disappointed in the overall outcome of all the photographs.

 This photograph was the best photograph from the wide angle shot. I think that this particular technique was really challenging and difficult as it was quite similar to depth of field and therefore it was hard to take photographs that differed from the use of depth of field. This photograph uses a railing as the main subject within the shot. By photographing this, it showed the wide angle of the railing and allowed for the audience to see that I used wide angle within the photograph. I admittedly struggled with using the camera and getting the camera to focus at first, but after getting it sorted out, the shoot began slightly easier to complete.


I think that this photo shoot wasn't my best and if I had to develop this shoot further I would do more research into wide angle and close-ups in order to capture what was required for the task.
