Shoot 4- Work Diary

In this series I chose to focus on the city of Norwich from different perspectives, including the buildings, architecture and the urban landscape from a distance as opposed to my last shoot the first person view of walking through the market and town. I am overall 

This shot is an overview of the market roofs, buildings in the backdrop and sky. I wanted to capture the image in this way to show off the fun colorful feel of the markets against the very old buildings and castle. The shot includes one subject of a woman's head looking off into the surrounding view. The image seems to capture the urban landscape of Norwich, without a very polished and crisp attention to detail, this is why it makes for such a raw, candid piece of photography. I wanted to ultimately show the juxtaposition and contrast with the small colorful market stools and the Victorian backdrop of buildings. The F stop of 14 meant that I could get a large aperture shot creating good depth of field within the image, this is evident in some of the clarity of the buildings in the far backdrop. The brightness of the image is fairly light without too much light taking away from the contrast in colors.

In this shot, I wanted to focus on the architecture making the vast majority of the urban landscape of Norwich, particularly the old Victorian buildings, churches and castles. The perspective I wanted to capture in this shot was a view looking up into the exterior of part of the church, this was too creative an impression of the size and structure of the building, as opposed to taking the shot from far away, I feel like this also helps to give clarity and depth to the shot, showing off the elements of the structure. An area of this that caught my appeal was the windows, I wanted to capture the intricacy of the glass and also the coloured emblem in white and blue on the top of the main section in the photo. The ISO being 400 allowed me to capture the light falling on the building and ultimately illuminating showing off the structure of the church. The frame of the shot includes the blue sky, this helps to contrast against the light tonality of the church.

The act of photographing a city has worked well in the last two shoots, and so I'd like to further my endeavors, in shooting other cities. I liked the alternate perspective I focused on in this shoot to show another side to the city, this helped to portrayal an overall view and series of the urban landscape of Norwich.
