Today we did macro/still life photography in the studio. I found this task quite hard to accomplish because getting the right focus on this lens was quite difficult to achieve. However, I ended up taking some nice shots of a rusty can, really bringing the contrast out in the yellow and the rust colour on the can. I achieved this when editing, I put up the clarity and saturation so the colour really stands out.  As you can see there are two different shots of the can, one with the can standing up and one laying down, I decided to try both when taking the photo's to see which one looked best, I think in this case the image of the can standing up looks better.

 

In the afternoon we did a task to make the rubbish everyone had collected the day before into something. Me and Amy decided to turn our rubbish into a car. We then had a second task on making an outfit as such for our model. We were split into two teams and had to get as much rubbish as we could on to our model as we could in twenty minutes. This task was pretty hilarious, however it really puts how much litter there is into perspective. All of this rubbish was off of a small beach in Plymouth, think how much there is all over the UK, all over the world. You actually don't realise until you actually go out and open your eyes up to it.
