Work Diary - Twelfth Shoot

Evaluation

This was my first shoot of taking photos of Evidence of Rainy Weather. I enjoyed this topic a lot, and grasped every opportunity i had to take these photos, so they have been taken on different days and times as i shot when it rained, because of this, i won't be shooting weather again as it is very unreliable and it was only when i had the chance and time to take these photos whilst it was raining. I also couldn't take many photographs outside because the rain was extremely heavy and would have damages my camera. Although i will not continue this topic, i do think it has added more variety to the shoots i have already done, and has shown that i have experimented with different subjects. 

Once it rained, i immediately took the opportunity to take photographs of the rain against my window. I like this image a lot because the focus is on the condensation and rain droplets. However, because the surface is a window, we can see the background and image behind it, which is now blurred and distorted due to the rain smudging the surface. 

This is another photo from the shoot, I like that the image is focused in the foreground so that the rain drops are the sole focus. However, i also like that some of the rain droplets in the background are blurred, as it makes the wooden surfaced look smudged. In addition to this, i took the image extremely close-up, so there isn't anything else in the image distracting from the rain droplets, and so the purpose of the image is clear.

Progression

As this was my first shoot on Evidence of Weather, I decided that i wouldn't continue with the topic because the weather is very unreliable, and all the photos i shot were taken at different times and days. However, i think the end result of these images came out very well, and enjoyed this shoot a lot. As this was the only shoot on Weather, I have decided to move onto another topic. However, this shoot was my influence, as the images through the windows has given me the idea of shooting distorted images. So, for my next shoot i plan to take photos using different transparent but patterned objects, and shooting through them at landscapes and objects. This will make the image through them either a different colour, different shape, patterned and overall, distorted. I will also use photoshop to create my own distortions. These a few of the images which have inspired my next shoot:
