Considerations

Considerations for the Creative Assignment

I'm thinking about taking my dslr or my film camera, a dslr would be much easier to operate and might produce images of much higher quality where as a film camera might produces images that look somewhat more lively and have a little more character to them, scratches and dust on the mirror will also add an authentic vintage feel to the images.

I'm also thinking about either going out during the evening or when the sun begins to set, during the evening the sun will be at it's peak in terms of sunlight and will help to make much lighter images, but later during the day the iso can be made higher to produce a light image along with a lot of grain which might again give the picture a more vintage feel.

The weather should also be considered, if its too windy it might be tricky to take a picture standing up with out a tripod and using a tripod might limit the movability inside, I imagine that a sunny day with minimal wind would be the best.

I should absolutely be taking a tripod with me and I shouldn't even be considering it, a tripod should always be with my whenever I go to take pictures so that I have it just in case, also the tripod will help to take pictures that have a longer exposure.

I think that my theme for this will be ''power'' so I will also have to think about a place that could show that in my own personal way, and I'm thinking of frasers gunnery range which I believe is an abandoned military testing site of some sort, it is currently in the process of being taken apart but that process has been going on for a few decades now. The place is littered with old radio equipment and old army equipment.
