Digital Photography |
It's crazy how expansive photography is; how many different sorts of photography there are and how unique they are. We took a look at some of the different genres/categories of art, and did a mind map and choose out 5 types of photography to research and analyse. Astro PhotographyAstrological Photography, as suggested by the name is photography of the stars which I found quite interesting and possibly something I want to explore as astrology is one of my hobbies. I think this type of photography would be very difficult in our area due to light pollution. Key technqiues
Car PhotographyCars being another one of my interests, would be something I would love to take photographs of there are such a wide variety of different types of cars, eras, makes and models so there is no way I will run out of photographs to take.

Action ShotThis a beautifully, well timed shot of a rally car in action. Its well set, as rally cars are typically found on dirt tracks. The car has so very interesting vinyl stickers on it with complimentary colours green and red. The detail in this image is extraordinary, all the flicked up dirt and dust really adds to the image and also fills void spaces. I would imagine this image was taken on film, as it would be hard to capture as a standard image. Car partsIn this image we can see a car engine, judging by the shape and the front grille its an older car. In addition the image is black and white possibly to insinuate the car being old. I find zooming in on car parts interesting especially the mechanical engine parts, it really gives you an insight to the complexity of cars. Night PhotographyNight photography, also linking in with painting with light would be something I would love to explore I'm fascinated with what visual representation you can produce with the light and the concept of star trials.
