Exam Shoot 3 - Work Record

Plans for the shoot:
For this shoot I intend to take photographs of bottles, I want to use glass bottles of a variety of colours as if I do this the shadows should end up being very bright and colourful and really interesting to look at. I have put many of my shoots in black and white before now, however I think that this shoot won't work very well in black and white so I would have to do it in colour. I think that this should end up looking really good. I will do this shoot at home because it would be much easier, although the lighting is better in the studio at college, I am happy to work with the lights that I have at home.

What I hope to achieve:

For this shoot I hope that I will be able to work with different types of objects and colours.  Most of my shoots where I've worked with colour have been put into black and white, including the first exam shoot, however I think that this shoot will work much better in colour.
It would be very bland in black and white and the glass would all look the same, so it is definitely a good idea to do it in colour instead.

What I actually achieved:

This shoot ended up going really well and I am very happy with it. I got a lot of different coloured bottles which meant that there was a large variety of colours in the shoot.
I took a lot of photographs in this shoot because I did it at home so I had less time constraints. It was also easier to do this shoot at home because if I did it in college then I would have to bring in a large amount of glass and carry it on the bus which isn't really very easy especially if the bus is busy. 

ISO: 200
exposure: 1/40 second
F/3.5
The left photograph is the original and the right is the edited image, I love this image because of the framing of it, you can see the whole top of the jar, and the pink shadow, but nothing else. 
The focus of the photograph is also really nice, it is focused on the top of the jar, however, it still looks really good even though the shadow is quite blurry. You can definitely see that where the jar is thicker, the colour is darker and more difficult to see, where it is quite thin, the colour is a bright pink.

ISO: 400
exposure: 1/160 second
F/3.5
The left photo is the original and the right is the edited. I really like this image and I think that it is high quality. I did this shoot at home because I would've found it difficult to take this many bottles to college on the bus. So instead of doing this I took it home as this would be more convenient and easy.
I think that I did end up with some very good photographs in this shoot and I am very happy with this one in particular, I love the framing for this image because it is focused more on the  shadows/reflections coming from the bottles, rather than the bottles themselves. I love this because the shadows are very pretty, they look like they have been reflected onto water.
