Environment Shoot - Skip Yard in Feltham+Pastiche in Richmond Hill

PLAN FOR TODAY;
-Environment series shots around 9am and Pastiche shot around 11am
-Purchase objects for Object shoot on 28th (Friday) - by 1pm
- Buy carpet for object shoot

I took out the Bronica on Friday as well as a small tripod- however there was a problem with getting a light metre out as they were all booked! -- Thank fully a peer in my class lent his light metre for the weekend

This was the only skip yard that allowed me to take images first thing in the morning, I guess it was due to the fact that I only live round the corner to them?

Here is an image taken on my phone of the viewfinder on the Bronica camera

The shooting went really well, although towards the end the workers did need me to leave.

I was lucky not to be rushed through the process of shooting as I had to consider carefully the camera position and change the standard lens to close.

I did two shots each for the mattress and TV, so I could take them at different angles

MATTRESS- second shot

TV - first shot

My FINAL series of THREE images of 'Throw away Culture'

Pile of mattresses - F4.0 + Shutter 500

Shredded paper and Tyre - F4.8

Stacks of TV/Computer screens - F4.0

- The way people just throw away things without thinking twice is natural to almost everyone now, but is it totally a bad thing?

Research shows ;  (on this website http://www.recycle.co.uk/throw-away.html )

I guess it's up to the viewers how they feel about throw away culture!

The UK does have the lowest percentage of 34.5% of Recycling

- Few more images from the shoot!

Pile of Metal - F4.8

Rubbish - 4.8

For my Pastiche in Richmond Hill - I came here the night before as I was in the car looking around for the perfect tree, and this is the one that caught my eye as it was near enough like the one in Adam's image.  

Shutter = 360 Aperture = 8.0

By looking at Adams image of the tree, I wanted to capture the same atmosphere and emotion that you get from the landscape and structure of the tree.  However, I failed to capture the city landscape but I’m pleased with my outcome as I think the lake landscape behind the tree gave the photo meaning and a feel of calmness.
