Pre-Shoot:
For this shoot I hope to improve on the work that I did in my preparatory shoot earlier in the year. I hope to go to a slightly busier area and take more photos to get more straight images than I did before. I will also attempt to edit these photos more in the style of Titarenko, changing them to black and white. I will try to get more people trails in this shoot than I did in the last one.
Post-Shoot:
For this shoot I used the camera on f22 and differed between a shutter speed of 1 second and 2.5 seconds. This gave me a wide range of photos to work with some turned out quite well and some did not. For this shoot I had to go above the boundary for the shots and almost all the photos I took were overexposed, some even more so. The problem was that with the equipment I had it was impossible to get people trails and them not be overexposed in some capacity as the camera I had did not have an ND filter or other such equipment. Thereby, I had to edit the images in photoshop to get them back to a more suitable level.
This image is an example of the kind of overexposure I got when my camera had a shutter speed of over 1.6 seconds. For this photo I has my camera set to f22, I was unable to get any higher with my equipment, and the shutter speed was at 2.5 seconds. As you can seer this image is majorly overexposed. The sort of white blur on the right hand side of the picture was actually a man in a white sweater, it didn't come out too well. Also, the movement of some other people in this image isn't actually picked up at all. This supports my thinking behind having less time on my shutter speed. Because this image was so overexposed I was actually unable to make it look any better in photoshop.
My Progression:
Although I feel that overall this shoot was a success there are some things that I would improve upon should I have to go out and do it again. First of all, I would take a sturdier tripod. The tripod I took had a tendency to wobble ever so slightly and thereby in some of my photos the buildings are even a little blurred. Also, I would acquire an ND filter for my camera. This would mean that I was able to have longer shutter speed without having to worry about overexposure. Overall, though, I think that this shoot went well.

This is one of the better images from my shoot. For this photo I had my camera set to f22 and had a shutter speed of 1.6 seconds. I was unable to get any decent photos that weren't majorly overexposed if my shutter speed was any longer than this. However, if my shutter speed had been longer I don't think that the images would have been as good and they wouldn't have shown as much movement. Because I was on a high street people weren't exactly moving slowly so had I been using a 30 second shutter speed I wouldn't have actually caught anyone's movement anyway. So, having a 1.6 second shutter speed was perfect as it meant that the camera could pick up the people's movements no matter how fast, or slow, they were walking. When first taken this image was slightly overexposed, however. So in photoshop I used the brightness/contrast section to darken the image and get it back down to a better level and I think that this worked quite well.
