During today's lesson we had to capture Movement within an image. We done this by beginning the lesson learning about different ways to do this- learning techniques needed on the camera (as shown on my Simple camera words blog). After given this knowledge we were able to go out to explore and experiment different ways to capture movement. However, as we went in town, this didn't work as well as wanted- the rain ruined it for us. The majority of the images in which I ended up taking were at home or inside the college building because the rain kept ruining my photos. I also tried to take images on Saturday 7th November 2015 of fireworks as I believed this would have been a good way to see movement, however I was unable to go to any firework shows as there wasn't any near by me and my neighbors weren't seeming to let any off.

A photo I like from today's lesson...
This is an image I really like from today's lesson and is also included in my straight images for this element. The reason I like this is because half way through the image being taken, I blew out the candle. This gave it the effect of movement because the flame is different sizes across it and then disappears. Another reason why I like this is because even though this is the edited version, the movement is simple, yet is captured rather well. The shutter speed for this image is 6 and the F-stop is 32.


A photo I don't like from today's lesson...
As the only park I had access to only had this object in that moved- this isn't how I planned it to be. What I had planned was a roundabout which I was going to sit on with my camera to show movement or get someone else to sit on it so then I could take an image of them whilst me being off it. However as this was all metal it doesn't show movement. A way this could have showed movement would have been to put something on it, although due to the rain no-one was willing to sit in a pool of rain water. The shutter speed here is 0.8 and the F-stop is 25.


Progression...
If I were to re-do this task, I would try and find a park with maybe a swing or roundabout to do the above image better. I would also make sure I was a lot more confident with my camera as when taking photos in town I weren't overly confident and didn't quite know what I were doing. Examples of ways I would improve are shown below...

 The use of macro photography makes this such an inspiring image because it captures movement in a very clear way. Even though I myself don't have a big enough lens to do this, I hope to some how recreate an image like this because you can clearly see the ripples in the water moving across.

 This photo was clearly taken from a motorway- which I really like. With one side the red lights from the back of the car and the other with white headlights. I really like how this movement is portrayed as it doesn't actually have the cars themselves, just the lighting that's been left behind.

 I find this photo inspiring because of the stereotypical British shot taken here. With the red phone box and bus, the movement of the bus is so blurred yet the phone box isn't. I would really like the capture an image in this way because I really find it inspiring because only one part of the image in shown to be moving.

 Much like the image above, I really like this image and find it inspiring because its as if the children on the swings aren't the ones moving yet the world around them is. I may recreate this by getting images of someone on a swing- it may create the same effect.

 Personally, to me the beach is the best place to be, so for this image of movement to include the sea makes this a photo I really like. The reason I find this inspiring is because movement is only portrayed through the water.

Finally, I really like this image to show movement and really hope I am able to recreate it because the way the dice bounce are shown here and it's a very simple image. I also like the way this image is very clear- especially the end part with the stable dice.

Movement Definition

My definition of movement: when and object is moving or the person taking the photo is moving.

Google definition: Framing an image including movement.

 For example, here, there is movement that is being portrayed by light across the image. There is one stable object on the right hand corner, yet on the other side of the road, car lights portray movement down the road.

In this image you can see different steps of dancing through this technique. Even though the person is faint, it doesn't matter all that much because you can still work out what's she's doing.

On this image you can see the moment through a circular object which has been spinning- through light.

Here you can see movement by the splash of water around the wings of the bird.
