Work Record 5

Plan 

the plan for this shoot was to experiment the idea of using time lapse photography to create a time lapse stitched together in Photoshop of the movement of the moon.

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

Research:

I was heavily influenced by Dan Marker-Moor and his "time slice" art of photography especially this image below.

 The technique he uses is taking images remotely triggered at set times intervals which he further creates a collage from that give almost a time line of a scene such as the rising blood moon below.

I wanted to replicate this style in a shorter time frame but just of the moon itself.

contact sheets:

AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

camera settings:

The settings where as listed as I wanted a perfect exposure with the detailed features of the moon to be visible as well. The shoot took place in my garden with a tripod setup and the moon positioned in  the bottom left of the frame.Ii gave it roughly 5 minutes before each shot and the distance it travelled with the single frame {frame was not moved} was recorded in a set of images below. 

The images did have to be retaken after the first attempt as the exposure values and colour was not correct for the style of image I was going for therefore I re took the images on the same day. this is what the previous images looked like with the previous exposure values. 

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

After the retake I put all the images together in Photoshop and layers them on top on each other using the slice tool. I marked the position of each lunar sphere via the ruler function and snipped strips which where then put into a seamless collage all together that is present in my AO4
