Evaluation:
For this shoot I visited Lea Valley Farm, I wanted to get photographs of the farm animals that live there rather than the other animals like Meerkats and Weasels that are there. I have taken these photographs for the personal opinions question because I am doing it on sustainable living, which in my eyes is incredibly important. I decided to take photographs of animals for the first shoot because animals, especially farm animals are a key part of living sustainably, the consumption of animals is degrading to the environment, due to the fact that it takes so much to raise them, especially bigger animals like Cows.
I struggled to get good lighting in some of these photographs because the animals were usually in shed like spaces that had a big roof, meaning less light was able to get in, this is especially evident in the photos of the calfs.
I think that this is my best photograph of the shoot because the Chicken's eye is in such good focus. I love how well we can see the chicken, although this photo isn't perfect, some of the beak isn't in focus, this may be because she was behind a wire fence which made it hard to take the photo without some blurring in places.
Camera settings:
f stop: 5.6
ISO: 3200
Exposure: 1/4000 secs
I think that this is my worst photograph because I don't think that the lighting is very good and I just don't think the photograph is good in general.
Camera settings:
f stop: 4.5
ISO: 3200
Exposure: 1/1000 secs
Progression:
I think I took very nice photographs for this shoot, however, I wish I had been able to take more photos, but it got very dark and rainy and the photos weren't good after this, I think the photos would be better in the summer when there is more sunlight.
