UNIT 1- RELATIONSHIPS (BUILD UP WORK 03)

For this shoot I completely changed the way of shooting my pictures. In this case it was all about timing. I started shooting with 1/200" but then due to lack of light I had to make the exposure a bit longer (around 1/125"). I had to capture the exact moment when my model was jumping and the leaves were falling over him.




 Another problem that we had in this process was the focus. Initially we started using the autofocus but it didn't work. That's probably because while shooting the burst the camera tried to refocus the image. We solved this problem setting the focus before the action and then putting it in manual mode. This time it worked better but the focus still wasn't sharp enough, the issue was that the model jumping was moving from the background to the foreground sometimes resulting out of focus. 




Solved this two initial problems we focused on the pose and the facial expression. It wasn't easy to combine all these elements in a single shot but at the end of the shoot we managed to get some good shots.





 While I was editing the pictures I found out that some of the picture had really lots of digital noise and chromatic aberration, for this decision I decided that I'm going to write a post just for analyzing this phenomena.
I think that my best edit looks pretty good, colour and pose are similar to the one that Bohbot uses and the leaves floating around the subject emphasize even more the zero gravity effect.







For the next shoot I want to keep the same concept, a model jumping surrounded by some floating objects. This time I'm going to use my camera to get reed of the technical problem that I had shooting with a different camera.
