Work Diary

The first photograph i am evaluating is the edit of the converse. This edit shows blurring very clear and is very interesting to look at as it shows an illuson of double the converse. The colours are very clear and sharp but to improve this edit i would of made this photograph more blury to make it more intrieging to look at. And to make it clear to any viewers that this is the formal element of blur.

The second Photograph i am evaluating is the book edit. This photograph is very blurry and the as i moved my camrea in one direction there is a swift blur affect that travels to the left. This photograph contains a bright blue that is very eye catching. This photograph didnt come out the way i would of liked it to as the photograph looked extrmely unclear to improve this is wouldnt of moved the camrea as fast and as much to make the blur less intense.

When i went out to take photos for blur the weather again was very dull and raining so i shot most of my photographs inside one room. To develop my photographs i would of taken more in different rooms to get different affects and colours in the blur.

 In this photograph there is the technique blurring. The blurring is used in the motion of the stages of a dance couple performing a set of dance steps. The male dancer is wearing a black suit and the women dancer is wearing a flowing red dress. The lighting is very dark with a faint colour of pink this suggests romance. The blurring is happening through each transition of the dance.This is very affective as it is showing what the naked eye cant see but the camera can. The two main photographs of the start and finishing dance pose stands out with the others fully blurred. This is very affect because it shows what stages they went through to achieve there ending poses. But also the photograph looks very graphic and real that you can feel the intensity. As well as the bluring indicating the fast pace they are moving at.


In this photograph there is the technique blurring  this is used to put impact on the movement of the spinnning roundabout and the affect it has on the teddy bear. This photograph is very complex and unique as the blurring is only in the background of the photograph and the focus is on the teddy bear and roundabout seat. even though the force of the movement creates the teddy bear to look wind swept which adds more motion to the photograph. The blurring technique is going in one direction and is a still movement that is captutred to show the viewers something they cant see but the camrea can capture. This photgraph is very affective as it emphasis speed through the bluring. Also the blurring is very sharp and clear which makes this photograph look very high quality.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. This is when the photographer has captured a motion blur because this photograph contains extremely fast movement. In this photograph there are two race horses and they have a faint blur but the main blur is in the background. By putting blur on the horses as well as the background creates added speed and intensity to the photograph. I think this photograph is affective because the photo was captured in action of the horses not on the ground . Also this photograph isn't a still movement which makes it different as the photograph portrays rapid speed using burring. Also the simple red,blue,green and black colours are blurred as well to give the photograph a realistic sense to it. As well as the jockeys being blurred as well to show how much force and energy they are using to win the race.

In this photograph there is a red post box, double decker bus and a London street. This photograph contains the theme of London. The blurring is used to capture the motion of the double decker bus. This is because the bus is travelling at a speed and the movement of the photograph can not be seen with the naked eye. By having a still image of a post box at the front of the photograph and a blurred image of a double decker bus emphasis how fast the bus is actually going. The blurring of the bus is very good quality as its blurred enough to show its rapid speed but also sharp enough to see what it actually is. The darkness of this photograph also must of made the photo easier to capture the burr.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. Blurring is created to capture the idea of movement through time. This photograph is an example of this as it shows a cat chasing a mouse and putting impact on the speed they are both racing at. This photograph brings out the feelings of fear, panic as well as domination and anger. These feelings wouldn't be highlighted with out the use of the technique blurring. The blurring is emphasising the rapid speed they are moving at as well as bringing out there facial expressions as they are not blurred but focused and sharp. The colours in the background that are blurred all combine together to produce an misty look this can not be seen with the naked eye which makes the technique blurring so special.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. This photograph shows the movement of the spinning swings. With the technique blurring this gives the photograph a smooth and relaxed feel to the photo. This is because even though the blurred technique shows speed the bright colours and smoothness of the blur creates this photograph to be very graceful and effortless. This photograph is very affective as the two girls on the swings closest are in focus more then the rest which are blurred. This shows a long shot as the further they are in the distance the more burred they are. The technique blurring is very eye catchy and different to other still photography as it  gives the photograph a story behind it and is an action shot which is very unique an intriguing.
