SHOOT 7

For my seventh and final shoot, I used the idea which I used in shoot 5 and 6 by comparing buildings and people as they both are very different when using scale. This shoot took place on top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa which was a perfect spot to take some images due to the height and the angles that would be available for me. For this shoot I used a Nikon D3200 with a 18 - 5mm lens. There was no real difficulty taking the shots as I was in the perfect position and there was a large depth of field so I just kept the focus on auto so I could get softer images.

This shoot went really well and links perfectly with my intentions of scale and fantasy. This is because of how the people on the ground look even smaller because of the angle and the buildings around them. My best images from this shoot are images 9 and 12. Image 9 is a good shoot because of the composition of the image with the orange\yellow buildings on the top 1\3, then the grey pathway in the middle and then the green grass on the bottom of the image, creating a nice composition and a rule of thirds. Mostly importantly though, the image is a really good picture to show my idea of using scale. The high angle shot at which it was taken from creates an illusion, making the people on the ground seem really small, like something you'd imagine in a fantasy world. Image 12 is another good shot because of the composition and rule of thirds again. The cathedral covers 2\3 from the right and then there is the green grass on the left hand side with the people. The composition is created with the grey dull coloured cathedral and the bright luscious green grass which creates a contrast as well. The use of scale in this picture is good as well because of the large cathedral which is very striking in the image, then you have the people which look like dots, sitting on the grass.

Overall, this shoot was a great success. This is due to the composition, rule of thirds and the contrast which are in the images. This makes the image amore interesting and adds more detail and movement to the images. In addition to, the angle of the shots has enabled me to shoot at a very high angle above everything in the area. This meant I could choose what I wanted to compare for scale. Therefore, due to the mass amount of people I made them look as small as possible compared to everything else around them as if it was a fantasy world where humans weren't as big.
