Reearch and Planning: DSLR test shots

Close Up of person

These first three photos I took as close up shots. The first photo has flash on and the other two don't I personally think the second ones work better since the natural light gives better lighting and doesn't make Rebecca's eyes red.

Long Shot of person

These two photos I took as long shots, the first photo I took with flash didn't work out very well since I didn't manage to get her feet in and is a little blurred. So I moved back a few steps and took the second picture without flash on and it worked a lot better.

Flower

This first photo I took with flash on with the extreme close up setting, but the photo managed to come out quite blurry, so I took a second photo with no flash and the photo became clearer. I would prefer to use no flash outside since it seems to give me better results.

Small Object

The first image of the small pen on the floor inside casted a strange shadow in the top corner, the flash didn't work effectively on this picture.

The second image worked a lot better since the camera focused properly and the flash produced a very clear image with no shadows being cast.

Long shot

The long shot image taken outside is a lot clearer and brighter than the one taken inside, the artificial lighting inside creates a darker and in a sense boring photo. I will not be taking any photos outside.

Other shot-Movement shot

As my extra shot I decided to try and movement shot and personally I think they worked quite well. For the first one I tried a jumping shot and I ended up just taking 1 photo and I was very happy with the outcome. The second photo needs a little bit of explaining Aisha (left) and Annalise (right) decided to become zombies and walk quickly towards the camera this shot also worked out quite well. For my magazine I won't be needing a movement shot but I thought I would test out the different features on my camera (Canon 1000D) in order to get familiar with using the equipment.
