Photo Marathon continued..

After creating my own personal photo marathon, i tried to experiment further with 'iMovie' and combine some of the photos taken by myself and others in the class with the same theme to create a montage. My chosen theme was 'Autumn;'

I came accross a fantastic photographer called Heather McFarland, who specialises in Autumn scenic shots. This link shows some of her photographs and also gives us almost a step by step guide to create a beautiful shot. In each of her shots she writes below what aperture and shutter speed she uses, whether she used a tripod and various other elements to consider such as composition. Her images are stunning and almost abstract as the colours are so bright and colourful.

I then tried to push myself further and work on a soundtrack to play in the background, and put text onto the images describing what Autumn is to me; I did, however, run out of time in the class so would have liked to add further text to the montage, but I'm happy it being my first project and learning some of the basic techniques needed for this year.
