Individual Project Showcase

For my individual project i decided to create a collection of images showing photographs of landscape in a creative interesting way as i am interested in photography so it will be a great side project to do along side the national diploma.

I began by researching the history of photography and early cameras then progressed onto looking specifically into landscapes and different ways of representing spaces whether natural or man-made environments. I went out to different locations and took photographs using different cameras to create different looking photographs.
I did some black & white film photography using a Lomography Action Sampler.

 And colour fisheye images using the Lomography Fish Eye 2.

The photographs created by the Fisheye camera gave me an idea to mix panoramic photography with circular images. I began looking into ways to make images round and connect one end to the other making the photo become a circle. To do this i would have to use a digital camera so that i could edit the images so i chose to use a Sony SLR.

I came across this article which happened to be exactly what i visioned! So i experimented and ended up with many unsuccessful attempts. I finally perfected the images i liked. (All this done on Photoshop)
