Plaza Shoot

[robgasm]

Had exam leave today so after about 3hrs of my controlled Art mock exam I went down to a nice block of buildings, just past a subway (where I also ate lunch ) with my mate Arthur, and we poked around a bit. We then got questioned by a "security for sefton" guy, (fake police) in the park, funnn.

The shots are in no particular order, with almost no editing outside of cameraRAW (So basically, contrast).

My favourites are "King", "Pleasureland", "Branch", and "Kirov". Feel free to argue otherwise 'cause I'm going to put a few on dA.

I tried to stay away from making them all black and white, and sqaure. It kinda worked Hahah.


Centre

Sharp image

£2.99

Shot from the waist, manual focus. She had quite a character, and I liked the placement of the pigeon and workman (with reflection).

Branch

This seems quite surreal to me, and looks like artificial lighting has been used, but its all natural

False Escape.

I like the composition of this personally, although if the door wasnt in as much shade, it mightve been better, thoughts?

King

Noise due to high ISO =/

3:1

Odd one out? Worst of the shoot I think. =/

Untitled.

Focus was slightly off, but it highlights the line of moss running across.

Pleasureland

Focused in wrong area, but I like the fact you can see the street through the window, and quite sharply.

Kirov

I am very proud of this last image; taken as it was found.


Feel free to ask any questions whatsoever, suggest improving techniques and new names (cause mine are terrible)

All shots (I think) taken on Av - F/4, Spot Metering for a few. 800 ISO, which was stupid, and I only realised afterwards (Hence noise in a few), 50mm.

I have four more images, similar styles but they are pretty plain building/urban shots. I will upload them if anyone wants to see them however.
