Project Update 4

On Sunday the 5th of May, I attended the ‘Farsley Football Festival’ in order to get the last few shots for my project.

Going there, I had my ‘to do’ list that I published as my last project update.

Crowd shots:

As there was less people there as it was not a proper game, this allowed me to get some closer crowd shots such as the examples below:

These crowd shots are better than ones I have taken previously as they are a tighter shot as opposed to just being a wide angle and you can actually see the peoples faces and expressions in these images.

John McEvoy:

As mentioned in the last post, I still needed to take photos of John as he was not at the last game due to him being on holiday. My aim was get a photo of him by the pitch, similar to the ones I have got of George and Josh and I think I achieved this relatively well.

I took a few images like this and are happy with the way they came out and will be using them in my project. However, before I use them I will crop a bit of the right hand side of the image off so John is standing more centrally.

Then I had to get a photo of him doing his photography, initially the ones I got were from a wider angle and looked like this.

I don’t necessarily think these pictures are bad, however I prefer this tighter one I took and I feel like this is the one I will use in my project.

George Fearnley:

Following on from the photo I took of George the other week, I thought it would be appropriate to take a photo of him whilst he was playing for the supporters team at the Farsley Football Festival.

I thought a photo of him playing would suit the part in my piece when I talk about how non-league clubs host events that benefit the local community.

I like this image due to the fact the photo is purely based on George, however I feel as if I won’t use this one in my project due to the fact he has his back turned and the reader of the article may not realise that it is in fact George.

Here are some examples of other photos I am considering of using for George.

I am leaning towards using the first out of the three example images above as it is quite a chaotic photo almost like the one I discussed on an online lecture with Karl and Ruth which was a photo of a night out. There’s so many people doing different things and George is clearly visible in the picture too which makes me lean towards using that one.

Murals:

In previous posts, I have attached photos I have taken of various murals around the Farsley stadium but I prefaced that I wanted to retake the photos on a proper camera as opposed to just my phone to see if there is an increase in quality.

The lighting was better with the photo I had taken on my phone compared to the photo above however there was a railing just in front of the ‘army’ part so I think I will use this photo and maybe increase its brightness a bit on photoshop.

I tried to recapture this mural without the red bin in it as Ruth said that it was a bit distracting. I will certainly need to crop this image but as it stands I think just one mural picture will make it into the final project.

Robert Winterbottom:

Unfortunately, Robert couldn’t attend the Farsley Football Festival due to a family commitment meaning I couldn’t get a portrait photo similar to the one of John earlier in this post.

I also have to return the camera to uni on Tuesday so have no more opportunities to take one of him with the camera which is quite frustrating.

Robert said he will be around the stadium Tuesday evening so I may have to drive over and get a quick photo of him on my phone as there will be no other opportunities too as there aren’t any Farsley games or events for a while.
