Karen's Cert Phototgraphy: Term 2: Week 3 Portfolio Shoot 3#

Planning the next shoot: Day 3
I decided to do a recap of the Creative Genre. Looking at the best areas to shoot Night and Day photography. What areas will have the best contrast, texture and lighting. Motivated to produce a strong juxtaposition for the viewers.

Lighting is a key component to create drama yet a concept which leave the viewer thinking. Definitely need to identify good scenes to photograph. Examples parks, buildings, people, traffic.

Auckland City:

Creative genres

Right is an illustration of the major Creative genres that we have identified. In terms of photographic ethics, all of these genres would allow significant retouching of images, as well as the wholesale creation or alteration and recreation of images. The primary ethic is aesthetic - whatever looks good goes.

Creative genres tend to allow an element of fantasy and so are more liberal in terms of photographic ethics, allowing significant retouching and blending of images and so on. Just because the genre is listed here does not mean that we condone each one. Pornography and propaganda, for instance, we would consider to be exploitative and unethical. Be mindful that this is not an exhaustive list. Are there any other genres of photography that you think should fit in here?

Aotea Square Black & White Night:

Combining the night and day photo's. This is not working as the proportions and position of each photo is different. Since taking the photo I have realised I need to place the tripod in the same position. The camera's focal length needs to be the same. Cropping of the photo and to keep the complete building the image. To capture the same area I could do a print out of the Night photo hold it up to help with the position of the day photo. This is a fun learning adventure so enjoying learning. Back to the drawing board to redo Aotea Square.

VERSION 1 combined originals below

VERSION 2

The old photo has being added to the combined night and day photo + the gentlemen in black. The photo needs to be re-done not enough of the day photo.
