Proposal
Next week we are going to a farm to take around 40 test shots so that we can adjust the camera as we go along to the next animal. Then we will make 4 contact sheets. These contact sheets consisted of 10 images. Then we will pick 6 of these images to edit it into 3 different images.I will do this by going around the farm and taking pictures of the different animals ill be mainly using the shutter speed and aperture. The reason behind this is, animal in comparison to humans the photographer can't control their actions when they are within enclosures so a professional photographer would have his/hers camera on the setting to represent this. For example a pro would use a high ISO and a large aperture for a high detailed image of a bird and have it contrast to the blurry background. While having a high shutter speed will allow for a non-blurred image of a animal in motion. So with this knowledge ill be taking at least 30 test shot of the different animals on the farm. I won't be using any flash since if an animal were to come close towards the fence it might become violent, also since we are going in the morning we will have enough natural natural lights. Hopefully that the animals i am wishing to take images of will stand in front of wall or at an angle were the background is just grass so i can have an easier job of cutting the animal out in Photoshop.
Then i'll use 6 of the best image available on the contact sheet to be able to create all 3 of my creatures. To do this i will be mainly focusing on birds for the head and wings and the mammals for the bodies and the legs, since it will provide interesting combinations.
However i will need to take the environmental hazard to the camera since it could have the potential to rain so i'll be wear a water proof coat that can be used to shelter the camera. Another problem would be the mud on the ground, I believe this can be considered as a serious problem since there hasn't been any sun for a while so the ground would be ether damp or muddy. This could lead to myself losing balance and falling over as well as dropping the camera and having it brake, so to improve the chance on this not happening would be wear appropriate footwear.
Sam. You need to detail the animals you will be specifically targeting at the farm, for example, the body of a horse and the head of a pig etc. What considerations might you have to take into account? Getting close enough to the animals, using flash, shooting a animal against a background so it won't blend into the subject.What editing techniques will you use? What camera setting must you consider (ISO, shutter speed (not too slow) and apature). The proposal needs to be between 400-500words.
