Wide Angle Lens
This photo appeals to me because i love the effect of the bridge with the wide angle lens and how it seems to be huge compared to everything else. The leading lines of the bridge leading to the city.

Project time work
Most of the photos i took came out well, although on some of them the focus is slightly off so it doesn't look as nice as it could've done with the focus being accurate. When i modified the photos on photoshop they came out better, i did this by making the brightness better in some of the photos. The only problem really was the brightness issues, because most of the photos were too dark so i had to modify them on photoshop.
This photo turned out okay, I made it better by going on photoshop and getting rid of the spots, and made the picture brighter ever so slightly.
This photo came out well, I didnt have to modify it on photoshop apart from changing the brightness up a little bit to make the people more visible.
This photo came out really well because the photo is in focus and i really like how the sun is shining on his face.
I really like this photo because it captures the moment of laughter and it creates a memory of the moment.

LO2 KTA 5: Concept Description
I intend to capture in my photographs, the creative and digital side of Sheffield. I plan to do this by exploring Sheffield and taking pictures of creative things within Sheffield. This consists of things like graffiti/street art, buildings that have been built in a special way and the design of them is creative. I will also include things with creative logos and advertisements. To capture the digital side of Sheffield, I may capture people creative people in the digital world. I could also have people working on computers or texting. I will use different angle shots to portray different things in a special way, such as making thing look important with a low angle shot. I will involve some people in my photos to add more effect to them. I will also take some night shots to add a variety of photos. I will use different styles of photography such as landscape and portrait shots.

LO1 KTA 3: Planning of Photostory
1. Landscape photography:
The purpose of landscape photography, is to document different places from around the world. Sometimes on a large scale, such as photographing mountain ranges and oceans, but sometimes on a small scale such as houses or parks. The main features of landscape photography are focused on nature and wildlife, to capture the tranquility of nature, but, another feature is to capture man-made structures such as skyscrapers and such like. Sometimes the photographer put the two features together and have the contrast between the busyness of man-made things and then the calmness, delicate and slowness of nature.
This image, Milford Sound - David Evans, shows a lake with a mountain range surrounding it. The perfect reflection of the image gives it a slight eerie effect. The colour of the picture gives it a chilling effect as if you would need several layers of clothing to keep warm. The cold shadows creep over the mountain range, as the last rays of sun slip through the seaward opening to stroke the peaks with a final burst of colour. The image doesn't really give you a sense of size, but, looking at the snow peaked mountain you know get a sense of the size of the range.
2. Portrait photography:
The purpose of portrait photography is to capture someone or a group of people in the moment and to express how they feel and the mood in which they are feeling at the current time of the photo being taken. It is usually just of a persons face with an occasional prop such as a cigarette. But although this is the main feature, some photographers like to capture a scene behind them or their whole body as well.
This photograph by Diane Arbus (1923-1971) is a powerful one, because, the background is of a peaceful park with people and children, but then the main feature of this picture is of a small child, pulling a scary face, but at first you don't think anything is wrong, but as you see the boys hands you see him holding a toy hand grenade. Also his left hand is clenched in a claw like gesture as he hangs his thin arms by his side with his left strap hanging awkwardly by his side.
3. War photography:
The purpose of this genre is to capture iconic or distressing moments of war time, it sometimes harnesses fear in its photos and making people want to stop the war because of what happens in it and the photographic evidence. Although when you see and think of war, you mostly think of death and loss such as most of the photographs capture, but, on the odd occasion people can capture the iconic moment of victory.
This image, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima taken by Joe Rosenthal is an example of the iconic moments of victory, as six marines haul the flag up on the top of the mount with a destroyed battlefield surrounding them. The picture was extremely popular, it had been reprinted thousands of times to give the americans and nations allied with them hope that the war was finally coming to an end. In the same year it was taken and published it got awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Photography. Unfortunately three of the marines who raised the flag died in action later on in Iwo Jima.
4. Sport photography
Sport photography is a branch of photojournalism. The people who are professional sports photographers normally work for newspapers but there are a few that do it to promote small brands or sports that no one has heard of. Also it is meant to be able to capture the speed or brilliance of an athlete either in a group or just one person. It often captures iconic moments of an event such as the olympics or other big sports events.

This picture by Bob martin depicts loads and loads of people competing in cross country skiing. The picture shows people curved and going into one point. It shows vibrant colours of the skis and the outfits worn by the skiers. Also the image shows lots of people, who surprisingly are all stood up showing the skill of the people involved.
