Revised Proposal

My plan was to compare the feeling of time and how we experience it depending on the environment around us. I was going to do this by comparing the fast pace of the city to the slower pace of a smaller town and the country side, unfortunately getting photos of the country side and my home town fell through. So, my proposal will now just concentrate on capturing the pace of the city. I found that during our test photos with fast and slow shutter speeds I really enjoyed taking photos of the city at night so that is what I'll focus on. I've also taken inspiration from the night shot of Alec Soth's below.

Artist Precedent: Alec Soth

What i really like about Alec Soth's photos is that he manages to convey a real sense of time and stillness. Each of these photos have a definite feeling of what it would be like to be in that environment. this is an idea that i would definitely like to explore and maybe even try to reproduce the same feeling with my own photos.

I love how each of these photos are very different in their own way but still convey a real sense of time.

First Shoot Contact

I struggled in my first shoot dealing with the weather and also finding the right settings to use to capture my idea.

Project 2: Time, Initial Proposal

"Time flies when you're having fun"

I want to explore the idea that the way we experience time passing is relitive to what we are doing. I want to look at not only how 'time flies when you're having fun' but also how 10 minutes can seem like an hour when you're doing nothing.

My first tries at fast and slow shutter speeds

 

 Long exsposure

I had trouble with using a fast shutter speed to capture a moment. the hardest thing i found was to get enough light on the subject, because of this i couldn't use any of the really fast settings because the photo would come out too dark.
