"Fresh and Wild" Second Shoot
This is my selection of my best photos from my second shoot, for this shoot I went to the seafront, the lighting was quite good but there was enough cloud cover for me to get away with not using a polarising filter.  Once again I used a wide angle lens to capture the most out the landscape I was using.


This is my first image, I am very happy with this shot, I believe that it is successful due to the intensity of the colours and the dark contrasts. Furthermore I managed to capture the movement of the sea as it exposes the beach underneath, this adds another dimension to the water, which also reflects the dark sky.  This image is also successful because of the concrete arm, this helps keep the image interesting whilst also helping add more perspective to the overall picture. However I believe that this image is a bit too top-heavy, for example there is too much sky in the image which makes it seem unbalanced.


This is my second most successful shot from my second shoot. This shot is a lot more centred and balanced than the first yet lacks in drama compared to the first. However this shot is still successful as the concrete arm in this image leads into the centre of the image which is the where most of the impact will come from, the contrasts in colours, textures and overall perspective.


This is my most successful shot from my second shoot. This image captures the drama of the weather and the sea which creates an intense atmosphere. I am also extremely happy with the contrasts of textures that are captured within this image, for example, the texture of the pebbles, the water and the clouds overhead. I'm also happy with this image because of the different orientation compared to my other two shots. Being landscape it lends itself to the the wide angle lens and makes everything draw towards the centre of the image. Overall, everything combines to create a dramatic and atmospheric image.

I am extremely happy with this shoot, I believe that I have improved what I was unhappy with in the first shoot and used the equipment I have to the best of its ability. I also learnt a lot from these shoots which I can use to create better images in the future.
