NINTH SHOOT PRESENTATION Emirates Arena
EMIRATES ARENA, GLASGOW I am planning on visiting Emirates Arena which is located in Glasgow. This extremely modern building boasts a sleek and unique design which features multiple strong leading lines and repeating patterns. Ezra Stoller is a photographer who has fuelled my passion for capturing heavy leading lines which bring energy and dynamics to a photograph. I plan to use multiple techniques such as low angles, varying perspectives and repetition to present the futuristic architectural style. I hope to achieve effects in multiple instances where the leading lines give a sense of flow to my photographs and lead the eye on a journey through my photographs. I also hope to capture the effectiveness of repeating shapes and the contrast between different shapes, as I believe this adds to the dynamic effect of the building. Obstacles I may come across are: the weather may rain as it is predicted to rain so I will have to carry my camera bag to prevent water damage to any of my equipment.
TOP 5 IMAGES, PICTURE 1 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/320 ISO: 100 The way I have composed this shot means the lines converge to create a focal point at the furthest out section of this structure. This leads the eye towards the focal point in which the viewer’s attention is captured. The framing of this shot allows for negative space to surround the structure thus isolating it. This attracts the viewer’s attention effectively.
TOP 5 IMAGES, PICTURE 2 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/250 ISO: 100 The perspective of this shot leads the eye from the top left along the line leading to the bottom right. This engages the viewer as there is a sense of flow. As the lighting was coming from above, the dark underside of the structure creates a contrast with the rest of the image; this attracts the viewer’s attention.
TOP 5 IMAGES, PICTURE 3 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/640 ISO: 100 The repetition of rectangles creates a pattern which calms the viewer thus making it enjoyable to look at. Using a fast shutter speed of 1/640 sec accompanied by a wide aperture of f/3.5 creates a well exposed image as a reasonable amount of light is let through the lens.
TOP 5 IMAGES, PICTURE 4 Aperture: f/5 Shutter Speed: 1/800 ISO: 100 Ezra Stoller’s work inspired me to use leading lines in this shoot as this building features predominately strong leading lines. The leading lines starting from the top right leads the eye down the image, giving it dynamic properties as your eye moves along with its progress down the picture. An wide aperture of f/5 means the background is blurred out slightly compared to the foreground. This creates a narrow depth of field.
TOP 5 IMAGES, PICTURE 5 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/400 ISO: 100 The familiar shapes of rectangles contrast with the overall energetic triangular shape of the structure. This contrast in shape provides an overall energetic feeling to this photo. Using an aperture of f/3.5 alongside a shutter speed of 1/400 sec creates a well exposed image as the correct amount of lighting is let through the lens.
FINAL 2 IMAGES – PICTURE 1 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/250 ISO: 100 The diagonal element of this photo provides a pleasing atheistic and adds energy to the shot which engages the viewer. The use of negative spacing creates a balanced image which is appealing to look at as the space of the structure is matched by the amount of negative space.
FINAL 2 IMAGES – PICTURE 2 Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/640 ISO: 100 The lines featured in the glass leads the eye to the left towards my main subject. The triangular structure above also leads the eye further to the left until the points converge. This creates a sense of flow which engages the viewer. An ISO of 100 ensures a non grainy image which conserves the overall pixel quality of the image.
POST PRODUCTION Original Edit
FINAL IMAGE – CONVERGE The repetition of rectangles complements the leading line effect as it also leads the eye across each rectangle as it repeats across the image. The perspective of this shot makes the viewer feel small which creates an interesting contrast between the viewer and the scale of the building. Using an ISO of 100 ensured the light sensitivity was appropriate enough to create a noticeable contrast between the sky and the building. Using a fast shutter speed of 1/250 sec alongside a wide aperture of f/3.5 means a good amount of light is allowed through the lens in order to create a well exposed image. Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter Speed: 1/250 ISO: 100
