At the beginning of the term I mentioned that one area I would like to develop and improve my own work is in capturing what I see when I look at a space. (Perhaps this is every photographer’s goal, but nonetheless, it is mine.) This includes but is not limited to manipulation of the camera settings (lighting and exposure times), the viewpoint and cropping of composition (in camera). After Wednesday’s class and guest presentation, I think I would like to explore panoramic shots in landscapes. I will use both portrait and landscape shots (not in the same composition) to explore how much land and air can be captured and comparative distortions, and the effect of the horizon’s curvature. With this I hope to return to the same locations to shoot multiple times at varying lighting and weather. This will allow me to explore which elements of landscape are accentuated or hidden at any given time of day. I’m interested in distant landscapes, so I may shoot from high places (such as Spencer’s butte, Skinner’s butte). I would also like to explore vast open spaces (large fields, expanses of asphalt, etc).
