Anita's Photography Blogger: Brief 2- Interior Location

MANCHESTER TRAIN STATIONS- INTERIOR

For my interior I chose to do something totally different. I went for the train station and decided to do a few shoots inside the station and below is a brief explanation of the task.

1/40 f/2.8 ISO 400 24mm

I shot this image with a Nikon D700 camera. I played around with the settings and figured that having the ISO on 400 will make the image more sharper.

I took this image on the internet to show what I was trying to achieve and I wanted to use it as a reference.

I used f/4 for this image to give me some creative shallow depth of field and a lower shutter speed for this sharper shot.

For this image I tried to get good depth of field. The exposure I used was 1/500 and the aperture f/6.3

with a focal length 47 mm. I put my ISO to 800 and then changed the image to black and white.

1 sec f 11 ISO 1600 22mm

I initially shot this image in colour but however decided to change the tones and colours to come out with this image. In Camera Raw I first straightened my shot, then aimed for a neutral output by correcting the exposure. I used the recovery option for overexposed areas, but was careful not to push it, so as to avoid clipping. I also used the over andunder-exposed alarm from the Camera RAW histogram.

Once I was satisfied with the overall exposure I then exported in PSD and opened up the image in Photoshop.

In Photoshop, I went for a filter (black and white). From this filter option you can control all the color channels and convert the information into black and white contrasts (manually or with presets). I then had a go at changing the blending mode to soft light and repeated the filter a couple of times, playing with masks to bring the attention on a element of the composition.

The field of view is that part of the world that is visible through the camera at a particular position and orientation in space. This is also known as an angle of view which includes objects outside that your lens together with the camera can see and capture from left, right, centre, top and bottom. Furthermore, the actual field of view is always what the camera captures, not necessarily what you see inside the viewfinder. The image above is a perfect example, you can see beyond the individuals walking and although when I was taking this image I could only see the individuals through the lens, you can see the floor in detail and you can also almost see right up to the exit
