For my first set of images I used a film camera to take photos of the sea and crashing waves. I decided to use film because the quality of images produced is (in my opinion) better than digital shots, and give the images a softer composition, and just being generally more visually pleasing than digital shots
For the second set, I used my DSLR to take photos, and photographed two windsurfers. I looked at these as an example of stability, combining the tide and wind to balance and move.
For the third set I took a series of longer exposures, taking images of smaller waves against rocks. I used longer exposures to try and capture the movement of the water (elaborate). I set them up in a layout that had a sort of base at the bottom (photos with the rocks taking up a significant portion of the image) and became wholly focused on the water itself towards the top.

I began to experiment with long exposures again, this time taking photos of a rougher sea. I focused on a wave crashing against a groyne, using an exposure time of around 1/80 to achieve a blurring effect on the wave, but keeping the end of the groyne in focus.
I also made a looping clip of the wave crashing, using the images. I initially didn't use audio for the clip, but later added the sound of waves to add the the video. |
