our first 'weekly' picture project was....TIME.
Initially i was going to show the hands with sand running through them up but after photographing it i felt it didnt look right so decided to go with this, simply the sand falling...........
this is the process which i went through to get to my final image.
My final image.
"The Sands of Time"
taken using house lamp as my light source with paper to act as a diffuser i only wanted light on one side of the image so i used the 45/45 lighting technique which i'd learnt whilst taking pictures for my assignment (pear), i also used a tripod so i could slow the shutter speed right down then the sand falling would be blurred, which i felt was a representation of time when editing the image i changed it to black and white and put the contrast right up to make it very dark on one side and light on the other, another representation of time to.
I do like this image. It looks like the sands of time, which it is? Brilliant use of shutter speed and low key lighting, gives the pile of sand at the bottom form, texture and depth.
