Shoot Five- Skateboarding- Straight Images


This GIF shows the movement of youth skateboarding which I really like. The down side to this GIF is the movement of the camera due to the lack of tripod being used. However the framing of this GIF is really interesting because the audience are shown both the surrounding of the skate-park but also the movement of the subjects- the main subject skateboarding but also a gang of youths in the background. The reason I chose to use GIF for this shoot because I wanted to experiment through different techniques of different mediums to portray youth.

This is another GIF which I decided to create, when I was at the skate-park, I took several different series of photos to form GIFs however only some work (the two shown here are the most successful). I prefer this one to the one above because of the lighting and the positioning of the subject- he is closer to the camera and easier to see, However the movement of the camera is much clearer than the GIF above as I must have followed the subject by mistake which I only noticed after putting the GIF together. Much like the GIF above, you can also see the movement of the gang of youth behind them, although due to the movement of the camera, it's harder to focus on.

This image was taken during a series I had set up for a GIF, however I decided to take it as a single frame image rather than a GIF because I found the movement in this singular frame was much more interesting to look at and analyse than the GIF. Another reason why I chose not to use a GIF for this was the angle of the subject to me.

  1. really good Giff examples and where you have evaluated them a good diagnosis of the problems you faced..

    I think here you should be commenting on point of focus as in some cases the main subject is not in focus, this is compounded by your choice of f stop as the depth of focus is narrow... again explain why...

    OVERALL VERY GOOD FERN.
