Location Photography
Research into location photography led me to find these three photographs.
Kirsty Mitchell.
Jim Gallop.
Nikki Sixx.
After more research in to these photographs, I found I was drawn towards Jim Gallops' images. After a discussion with my tutor I found out that he created his images using HDR.
High-dynamic-range imaging.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Dynamic range is basically just the difference between the light and dark you can capture in a photo. Once your subject exceeds the camera’s dynamic range, the highlights tend to wash out to white, or darks simply become black smudges. It’s difficult to snap a photo that captures both ends of the spectrum. This is what HDR is; a style of photo with an high dynamic range that could not otherwise be achieved in a single photograph.
An HDR image is made by taking three or more photos of the same scene, each at different shutter speeds. The result is a bright, medium, and dark photo, based on the amount of light that got through the lens.
A software process then combines all the photos to bring details to the shadows and highlights both.

2nd shoot: Sunny day, a lot of light was able to penetrate into the tunnel and highlight the almost primitive markings on the tunnel walls.

My attempt at recreating the industrial, dark, grungy and hard look of Jim Gallop's photo of a man in a workshop.There is not as much color as in Jim Gallop's work but I feel that this is indicative of my own personal preference.
I feel that this has worked well and had led me to do my photos for my final peace in HDR.
These photos below have 2 stops between each picture for a more dramatic look.

Photo above taken on 2nd shoot and it was sunny so I got the reflections I wanted to capture on the surface of the water and also illuminates the green of the moss.
