Nature/Landscape

Intentions/purpose of photography to be undertaken

I aim to take beautiful shots of nature and wildlife around my area. My intentions for doing this are that there are so many great opportunities for me to do this in my area with the opportunity to take some fantastic shots.

Reasons for selection of theme

I have selected this theme as this is the type of photography that I am most I interested in. Don't get me wrong I love all sorts of photography but when I look at the works of mike McFarlane and Ansel Adams for example it just deeply inspires me to create my own fantastic shots. I have always loved taking photographs of nature and wildlife so now I want to take what I already know to the next level.

The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why

I will be using my only camera which I have which is my trusty Canon 1000D this camera has proved me very well in my other shots around this area of photography so it won't let me down. Because I will be going out quite deep in to different areas of nature I will be taking a spare battery with me because I will most probably need it. I will also be taking my tripod with me aswell to improve some of my quality of shots.

Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual message

For this I will be doing more than one photoshoot. What I will be trying to do is go to the same place twice both at different times of the day with a different climate. I will be doing this because I feel this gives a completely different feeling to the final images with a completely different mood to them. I will also using different methods of photography. By this I mean I will be attempting things like frame within a frame shots and shots that show the rule of thirds. I will basically be using different types of composition in my shots. This will easily help convey a visual image especially shots with the rule of thirds composition for example.

How light quality can be used to help convey the visual message

This is quite an important section especially with the theme that I have chosen. Light quality with my theme of photography could create a completely different photograph if taken once at a certain level of light and then another with a different level of light so it is vital that I get a perfect level of lighting to create some fantastic shots. Some shots for example night shots with a low level of lighting could also turn out to be quite interesting, this all depends on where and what I am photographing. Like I said in the above section I will be coming back at a different times of the day to experiment on what my shots look like with different levels of light.

Safety considerations

This is also a very important section for my theme of photography. Because I will be going out into all different types of area and terrain I will be taking someone else with me because you never know what could go wrong. I will be wearing the correct type of footwear which is appropriate to where I am going. I will also be taking a bottle of water with me swell because I could easily become fatigued when out deep in a forest or woodland etc.
