Digging in the Sand

After my test shots at Downtown Disney, I went to the beach for some day time crowd shots.

I ran into some of the same problems. There is nothing interesting going on. Movement is visible but there is nothing to draw in the eye.

I changed the format to include a black background. This is about the oly step in the correct direction that I have so far.

First Exposure

I intend this to be a space where I will display my work in progress. It is a addendum to my travel blog which is about every aspect of my semester abroad. Here I will go into more detail about one aspect, my independent project.

I am charged with the challenge of capturing life in London in photographic stills that resemble the motion seen through film.

I have done some testing with this concept and have found this to be a challenging but plausible project to accomplish.

Here are some of my tests shots from earlier this summer. Clearly I have some work to do, but I am learning from what does and does not work.























I look forward to criticism and comments. I am open to any suggestions throughout this process as a fresh perspective is always welcome, especially after I have starred at the same shot for 4 hours.
