After taking my first photoshoot I travelled to three locations in Cornwall to capture some of the scenery and environment. There was some concern over the weather as it was late summer and the weather is very unreliable in Cornwall. at the start of the day it was very cloudy and I was some what frightened of not being able to capture the sky because of the sheet of clouds. As the day progressed the weather became better, there was no rain and I was able to go to St Michael's Mount, Minack Theatre and Fistrel Beach.
I started the day of down at the National Trust property of St Michael's Mount. Due to it being surrounded by water I was hopping to find youths taking part in some type of water sports of enjoying the beach. This was one of the first photos that I captured on my shoot. I like the image of a father and presumably his son walking along the beach. This photo does advertise Cornwall's beauty and there coastlines and this was one of my main aims. My concern over this image though is that it doesn't relate to my target audience. I feel like with some editing on this image to make it brighter and more appealing I feel like it could be a serious contender to make it on one of my products but due that it doesn't really relate to my target audience.
Whilst being down at St Michael's Mount I did come across a couple of youths paddle boarding in the sea beside the iconic structure of St Michael's Mount. This image will work really well possibly on my contents page or on my double page spread as it shows youths part taking in outdoors sports. This would work well because it shows my target audience participating in activities in locations that I'm advertising. I will want to make this image again slightly brighter as the day was very overcast and puts a damper on the image.
This is a direct image of St Michael's Mount and is something that may feature on the front cover of my magazine. The reason why I would want this on the front of my magazine is because it stands out and shows why Cornwall is known for its beauty. The problem again with this image is that it have a very low amount of light. This is because the day was very cloudy and the sun never broke through so its actually difficult to see the main focus point in some areas and because of this, it will need to be edited before used.
This image was taken while walking up to St Michael's Mount as the sea began to go out. I liked the fact how I managed to capture St Michael's Mount fully surrounded by water but when walking out I seen these rocks and I thought this would look good to capture some of the Cornish landscape. As the water was still going out the rocks was breaking through and I was hopping there would be nice rock formations but unfortunately this was not the case and the rocks were actually very scattered. This photo still could be potentially used on one of my products.
This image was taken while I was inside the dock of the St Michael's Mount. As the water had gone out by this point you can see all the boats currently docked and it looks very appealing. This image works very well in the sense of advertising Cornwall and showing its attractive side but again its a concern of if it will appeal to my target audience again.
By the time I got to Minack Theatre the weather actually picked up and the image does look a lot brighter and more attractive to the eye. In Minack Theatre you couldn't capture the whole place in one image but this was my favourite of the day. I like how it captures all the structure of the theatre and how could potentially relate to my target audience because of the plays that take place there.
This image was taken in Newquay when it was concluding my day. I got down to Fistrel back in order to catch the sunset. This was probably the best session I had because when working with direct sunlight it always looks better at sunrise or sunset because the image doesn't look so flat. In the foreground I have a couple people to add to the focus point because I don't believe the sun set would of made the photo complete. Furthermore they're hard to see so I potentially need to make them stand out slightly more without making them over powering compared to the the actual focus point (the sunset).
This is another photo at fistrel beach when I was catching the sunset. This time I had a small hedge in the foreground which I don't think looks at good but its still another alternative.
Excellent time management and organisation.
