Movement- Work Diary.

Evaluation of session;
When we were told we had to take photographs of 'movement' i was unsure as to how i was supposed to take a photo of movement as a photo is just a snapshot in time but once it was explained to us, how to capture movement in a photograph it became slightly simpler. However whilst we were outside take the pictures i found that i ran out of things to take pictures of fairly quickly as after taking pictures of people moving and trees moving in the wind, it became increasingly difficult to find something to take a photo of.

The first photograph i have chosen to write about shows a person walking at a fast pace. The movement is shown through the person and the background being blurry. When i was taking this photo i was moving the camera, which caused the background to blur and the boy was moving so he was also blurry.

The second photograph i have chosen to write about shows the movement of me moving the camera around as i was taking the photograph. I like this photograph because usually when i think of movement in a photograph i think of the thing the photo is of moving, but this one shows that photographs can show the movement of the actually camera, rather than the subject the photo has been taken of.




Progression;
If i were to g out and take more photographs of movement i would like to take photos of light moving, such as car lights, or glow sticks in a dark room as i like the light trail left behind the light when it has moved at a reasonably fast speed, as shown the the two photos below.

Movement- definition post.

Dictionary definition;

An act of moving.

Describing words;

Fast, slow, forward. backward, left, right, up, down

The image shows a person twirling different colour lights around but because its dark we can only see the light that remains after it has been moved very quickly. I like this image as we can see that light is moving but because the backgrounds dark we can not see what is moving it.

The second image i have found shows a train tunnel. I like this image as we can see that its not the tunnel that is moving as it is a still thin, but the movement is coming from the train e hind the camera. We can see that it is moving quite fast as the lines of the walls and tracks are blurred, as are the lights.

The third image i have found shows movement of both the train and the man waking past. I have chosen this image as the image above shows that the train is moving as the tunnel around it is blurred but this image shows the train is moving as the actual train is blurred, not just its surroundings.

Th e ast image i found shows the movement of a wave. The movement is shown by the reflection of the sun at the top of the wave, and the slight lines in the wave going upwards, these lines show that the wave is moving and the direction that it is moving in.



Own definition;

A change in place or position.

Movement- straight images

Movement- image bank

These images all show movement in photography. All of the pictures that i have found on the internet show that the thing in the image, be it people or cars or anything that moves, is movement is the blurring. In the last image we can see that the children are spinning on the swings as the trees in the background are blurred but in the penultimate picture, the people are blurred as they are walking quickly. Most of the movement photos that i had found of the internet ware in black and white, i think that this is so the movement is more noticeable as the different tones stand out amongst each other. There is a noticeable difference between the shots where the camera is moving or where the subject is moving and the camera is still, when the camera is moving the background is blurred but when the camera is still, its usually just the subject that is blurred.
