Having just begun our photography module, we've been asked to investigate photographers and their styles to help inspire and inform us ahead of creating our own collection of photos. Whilst I'm not sure which photographers I'm keen on just yet, I know I like the use of depth of field and perspective. I also like the techniques of HDR and Tilt-shift. Put simply HDR is a collection of several photos of the same scene, taken at different exposures and later merged together to create a photo with greater dynamic range, hence high dynamic range (HDR). Here's one of my first attempts:
Tilt-shift can be achieved in a variety of ways: You can use specialist equipment that appears to be a swivelling lens, you can make your own swivelling lens out of some household equipment, or you can have a go at mimicking the effect in photoshop. Either way the goal is to end up with a real life scene looking toy like, or miniature. Here's my attempt followed by a video version taken at Disney.
Better versions of my photos are available on my Flickr page.
