Project Update 2

These are a few more test shots that I took whilst at the Thai Boxing session and one aspect that can be noticed straight away is how all photos consist of a similar angle and depth.

Most of the photos were taken whilst the fighters were side on with half of their body being captured on camera and all images also seem to have a similar depth of mid to close range shots.

In this first image, the individual in blue is performing a punching action, which I managed to capture relatively well as you can see the defining moment of both gloves touching each other. These were the type of shots that I was looking to capture throughout the session, and in this particular instance, I’m satisfied with how it turned out as there is very little blurry and the individual being focused on can be seen clearly.

This picture involves another punching action, however, there is more blur within this picture which takes its overall quality down. Once again this image was also taken at a sort of mid to close range. If I was to retake this picture, I would most likely take it head on where you’re able to see his full face to capture the expression being made on his face and also reduce the blur.

I think this test shot was the worst one of the four simply because of the blur and left hand from the boxer on the right that is blocking his face. These two aspects played a crucial role in how the photo turned out and perhaps with better timing, there wouldn’t be such issues.

This shot is different from the others and that is because I thought that I could try something different. A new angle or action is being taken by a fighter, which is how I captured this one. I think this picture would’ve been better if he was looking up with his head as I would’ve been able to capture that as well.
