First Photoshoot - Indoors and Outdoors

Second Photoshoot - Indoors

I am really happy with my photoshoots. The images have been taken with different techniques that we've been focusing on the previous tasks. I have included a few rule of third images where the egg is not directly in the centre. There are loads of images using the worms-eye perspective for example on the brick wall with the egg box. There are some birds-eye views when i showed the pan with the egg frying up. There's also high and low angles in some of my pictures. The format is all landscape for my showreel. There was a few that turned out portrait but i either deleted them or rotated it. They adjusted portrait because my camera would just turn format as i took the image. The only struggle i had was some images of the cracked egg was taken upside down because the egg was really close to a wall so i had to adjust with the circumstance and then rotated it after.

Some Image Analysis

Using the Rule of Third technique

This image is of the cracked egg just as it fell. As i was taking this image, i was focusing on using the rule of third technique. This makes the viewer immediately look at the egg in the image. I like the way it's composed close up. This was taken under natural lighting and it also has this blue haze look that i was after because it was shot in the afternoon. The shell of the egg contrasts with brightness from the other colours in the image making it seem bold. 

High Angle

Here's a high angle image looking downwards at the egg. This can also be referred to worm's eye because it's taken nearer to the ground. I like this image because the high angle has an effect that the egg is all vulnerable and powerless. It also gives you a nice view of the cracked egg, where you can see the yolk inside and all the egg whites slipping out on to the pavement. The lighting is very hazy so it instantly gives it this sad emotion. I am really happy with these outside images. I think they are exactly the sort of images i was after. I think the closeness is also a treat because the focus is very sharp without even editing this image. I think all the pre-work tips on taking the image right at that moment has really taught me to push myself on this photoshoot.

Worms Eye

I like this image taken indoors. The way the image is focused on the fried egg right where the pepper is. Then you have the egg box in the back out of focus, kind of like a juxtaposition. The image was taken under artificial lighting. There light source was from a light on the fan, on top of the cooker. This adds some nice brightness to the egg making the yolk vibrant in colour with some shine on the egg whites. To compare these images to the outdoor images, you can mention how these brighter colours make the image give this happy mood because it's vibrant and bold.

High Angle

This image was taken when the egg was frying up. I like how the image is in clear focus and you can see the oil bubbling up and the flame underneath. I think the high angle here doesn't give much effect on mood. This just looks like a happy image because the colours and the egg is just starting to look yummy. The location indoors fits because its a kitchen and it's a close up of a gas cooker. The light on top just makes the image very real because if it was taken with the built-in-flash, the focus wouldn't be so sharp and the image will be over exposed.
