We were set a random task to take pictures of 'places where men urinate after having left the pub'. I went out for an hour and shot several photographs using my nikon d3100 camera. It was quite a good day to go for a shoot for it was quite a sunny day, giving me the option to set the White balence to 'direct sunlight' and used a small appetite and a fast shutter speed.
How I felt it went?
I felt it was was quite difficult to document places in which people urinate after having gone to the pub and keep it in a landscape format, I feel I was limited to the photographs I was able to take because I did not have a wide angle lens which would have made the images more appropriate for landscape photography. I haven't yet put the images on the computer and edited them, once I do I will do another reflection.
What was bad?
I took a few photos in dark corners, the issue I found with that was because it was so bright there was a huge contrast with the bright areas and the dark areas making those images a little underexposed however the ones shot in sunlight were fine.
My conclusion
Overall I feel the shoot was successful in that the photographs came out with the mundane feel I was looking for, however what I would do next time is maybe instead use a film camera instead of my dslr, because I feel, using hp5 film will give the photographs a natural grainy effect, giving it a more dark and gloomy feel.
