Hello there, this is a quick post about one of the photographic techniques I will be using plus some equipment I will need.
After discussing my project with the teacher he suggested I use the framing mode of my slr to create a HDR (high dynamic range) images. This basically takes three photos; one is under exposed, one is over exposed and one is in the middle. This gives the opportunity to take the images into photoshop and blend them to get even lighting throughout the image.
To do this kind of photography you need a tripod to keep the camera still so I will need to buy one. I may be able to borrow an 18-55mm lens for the wider shots. I will need a few other bits and pieces but I will go more into that when I have nailed down the specific details.

Images of inspiration
Hello there, in this post I will show and discuss five images that I like the look of either in composition or subject matter. These images I have found on Pinterest.
I like this image for several reasons. Firstly, the colour is really vibrant, I like the strong reds of the barn with the Autumn leaves. The grass give a bright contrast although it looks like it has been altered a bit too much. The composition is good with a strong diagonal line from the roof of the barn.
The thing I like about this image is how it shows the passage of time that this bike has experienced. This is the sort of feel I will be going for with the shots of the older sheds and is the main thing I get from this image.
This image evokes abandonment with the vines and old wagon wheels, however the door provides a strong contrast both in colour and texture. That is the main thing I get from this image.
Another angle I can look at is including the machinery that might live in or around the shed. There is an additional level of texture to explore in the decay of metal
I like the feel of this shot with the dark sky and a patch of sun on the old stone shed. The overhanging branches add a sinister feel to the shot. It tells a story to me about a traveller who has come across this little hut just in time to shelter from the storm.
