A Descriptive Journey

Before I start describing the following assignment, I would like to thank Thanos for being really patient and helping me out!

In this assignment, we were asked to describe an actual journey in any form seemed fit. I tried to use a series of photographs to describe a simple walk from the City Centre Campus to the Newport Bus Station.

This experiment also led me to a fascinating study of human walk, as I was able to study the movement of various people walking down the street frame by frame. I also had a chance to ask a skateboarder to skate in front of the camera, and captured his movement too.

All these photographs were imported in Adobe Premier Pro in a sequence and converted to a movie as an output.

In this post, I've just edited & selected the images, depicting the journey from the campus to the bus station.

Here's the outcome:


The process of capturing all these photographs was simple..

I used my DSLR camera in continuous shooting mode using a tripod, with a fix aperture of 1.8 and slow shutter speed of 1/25sec.

The reason behind choosing a fix aperture was to maintain a fix amount of light entering the camera and not mess around the environment lighting. I used slow shutter speed to show blur while I was walking. This showed a sense of movement in the images I captured.
