Final Project Update 3

This last project update will include a few more photos, some of which I plan on using within my actual project and give some overall feedback on my thought process.

I am fairly satisfied with a lot of these pictures and how they turned out, and whilst they are not perfect by any means, I still think there are positive aspects of each one that make it well shot. Most of the photos hardly have any blur which is good and demonstrates my good and efficient timing of pressing the shoot button. This all came through relatively well due to the different options and settings that we were taught to help us in these specific situations.

I like the fourth photo of Matis Green, who is one of my sources, looking down at his boxing gloves whilst seated and sweating. I think a shot like that is just as good as the action shots as you can visibly see the sweat on his face and his facial expression whilst looking at his boxing gloves. In my opinion, with a few editing touches, it is a photo that flows well with the story that I plan to tell and will be good to use.

I also liked the third photo of Huseyin, who was doing some sparring exercise with his teammate but in that particular instant, he wasn’t doing or performing any action which is why I like the image so much. He’s got both arms out, almost like he is about to perform some sort of action but the captured moment is very simple with him in a natural position and once again I think would go very well with the story.

Another picture I like is the fifth one where a kicking action is being performed and in that exact scenario, I was able to capture the kicking action perfectly with barely any blur. I think the mid-angle range works well for that photo and would’ve been ruined if I was any closer or further away.

Overall I’m reasonably satisfied with the work that I’ve been doing across the module and can confidently say that I’ve seen a small development in the quality of my pictures even in such a short amount of time. I am disappointed that I wasn’t able to get more pictures from their other training sessions or actual fight event, as it would’ve been good to include some of those as well, however, I feel like I will be able to pick out a decent set of 8-12 quality pictures to include in my project.
