This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour.

This photograph was taken at the

boathouse in Shiplake Cross on a sunny day with blue skies. I am really glad that it was
sunny and there were blue skies because these elements help to make the image feel bright
and spacious, a key factor that needs to be conveyed within my images. The building has a
sort of industrial look to it as it is created from one material, grey steel. The grey steel is sort
of dark and therefore I am really glad that the weather was how it was because it brightens it
up a lot. If it wasn’t such nice weather and there wasn’t blue skies, the image would have felt
a lot darker and more confined which is not something I am trying to do. I framed this image
so that there was a lot of the blue sky involved as this is what makes it feel so spacious. I
also framed it using the rule of thirds vertically and horizontally. Vertically, there is a lot of
symmetry in this photograph because the windows are on either side of the frame creating
balance in the image and therefore making it appealing to the viewers. Horizontally, I framed
it so that the building took up the bottom third of the frame and the skies took up the middle
and top thirds of the frame. This balance and symmetry is really powerful as it makes it very
appealing to the human eye but also conveys my meaning in parts very well as the
architecture is important as well as the spaciousness of the image. The final key thing about
this image is the perspective. I stuck with the looking up perspective as I think its good to
give the audience a new view of architecture and I also think it helps draw there else
upwards to the open space.

This is a small, rectangular image that is similar to the previous one. It focuses on the same
section of the building and uses a very similar base framing technique. This photograph uses
a better looking up perspective than the previous image did which is good because this is an
important element to my meaning. This image is very symmetrical once again, I framed it in
the same way so that the windows were on opposite sides to the frame where is stood in the
centre. However this time, the light on the side of the wall is included in the frame. This
makes the image feel even more symmetrical because it sits right in the centre of the frame
and the centre of the windows. Therefore I vertically framed this image the same as I did in
the previous one but just used a stronger looking up perspective. However, I horizontally
framed this differently. This time I framed it so that the building took up the bottom half of the
frame and the blue sky took up the top half of the frame. I like the way this looks and I think
the symmetry in both directions works really nicely to create appeal for my audience.
 This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image uses a completely different
angle to the previous images and I think it is interesting and engaging. Although there is no
symmetry in this photograph I still think that the viewpoint and perspective is engaging
enough and will attract my audience. I used the same looking up perspective but just rotated
by camera so that I was left with this interesting frame. I framed it so that the building takes
up the bottom right corner of the frame and the blue sky takes over the rest of the space
surrounding it. I think this image feels nice and spacious which is good because this conveys
my meaning really well and also links back to this projects starting stimuli. Although I like the
framing technique, there are two small things in the frame the I wish weren’t there. These are
the edge of the light on the right hand side and the small tree leaves in the bottom left hand
corner. In my opinion, these are distractions that take away from the main point of the image
which is to give the viewer a new viewpoint/perspective of architecture in a spacious way. I
could crop these out but I like to leave them in as a reminder for me to be more careful and
precise when shooting. However, if I were to use this image as a final image for the project I
would go in and crop these two things out.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This is similar to the previous one but
still very different and unique. Instead of just looking up for this image I actually looked up
and sideways, along the edge of the wall. I think this made a really interesting new
perspective that works really nicely. I framed it so that the building took up less than half to
the frame and the blue skies took up the rest as this steel wall is quite dark and the closer I
got to it the darker it got on camera. Therefore, leaving more empty space/blue sky the
brighter the image and the more spacious it feels. I think this worked really well as this image
does feel very spacious and does show the new viewpoint/perspective that I want to convey
through my meaning. I used a fats shutter speed and low aperture on my manual camera
settings function to take this photograph. I did this so that the building was crisp and the
blue skies were bright and vibrant like it was in real life. This adds a sense of reality to the
image and can maybe engage the viewers better as they realise it is real life. I think that the
colours and tones in this image work really well alongside each other naturally and therefore I
didn’t need to go into photoshop and adjust any of the colours.
