MOTION WORK DIARY 

IMAGE 1 

EVALUATION - I like this image because of the exposure of it, the image appears very surreal due to the blur an brightness of it. To take the image I spun the roundabout and used a shutter speed of 2 seconds, this ensured that I captured  decent amount of movement given by the roundabout. To me this image represents time passing by quickly that we often miss, the spinning option could also represent the loss of control that we have over our time.  

EDITING - When editing this photo I wanted to completely change the feel of it to make it appear slightly sinister and darker than before. To do this I used the black and white tool which allowed me to adjust the colours in the image individually, for example I made the red the darkest, this made the red under toned roundabout very dark. By doing this it extenuated the movement in the photo by making the over powering white disappear.  

DEVELOPMENT - If I was to take this photo again I would try to figure out why every time I went to take the picture the F stop would go to 8 despite me changing it as this allowed to much light into my photo. 

IMAGE 2 

EVALUATION - This image displays the rapid movement of water and how it appears when captured within a quick shutter speed. For this image I used a regular shutter speed of around 1/125 of a second, this allowed me to capture the water for only a moment and made it appear almost still. I like how this shows the natural flow of the fountain but still displays a slight blur the same as how we would see it in real life. 

EDITING - To edit this image my goal was to focus on defining the water  little bit more, as in the first image it appeared quite white. To do this I used the courses tool, this allowed me to darken the shadows of the water droplets making ash individual drop slightly more evident to the eye. 

DEVELOPMENT - If I was to take this image again I would take it on a slightly better camera so that I could really focus on the settings. I would also try to take it on a micro lens as this would give it a closer and more detailed view. 

IMAGE 3 

EVALUATION - This image wasn't originally taken with the intention of it being motion, however as I was taking the photo the horse started to walk. I love how natural this image is and the life which is shown due to the blur of it. To me, it represents the characteristics of the horse and how we would expect it to act in the wild. 

EDITING - On first glance of he image I thought that he colours poked quite dull therefore I used the saturation tool to turn increase the impact of the colours. I then used the curves tool to darken the shaded areas of the image, upon doing this it added a lot of detail to the image by making the fur on the horses legs more evident and even the grass appear more detailed. 

DEVELOPMENT - one thing i would change about this photo is the lack of detail in the sky above the horse, to me it doesn't appear very interesting and adds a plain and dull feel to the image which is otherwise full of life. 

IMAGE THAT REQUIRES DEVELOPMENT 

This image didn't go as well as I wanted it to as I didn't manage to capture the movement of the plants, this is down o the shutter speed being too short. You can also see in the image a persons hand which gives the image an overall unprofessional feel.
