Exercise 1.1 – Methods & Image Meta-data

I put off going out to do this exercise for a few days. The weather had been very overcast and drizzly, and I thought the light was flat and relatively uninteresting. However, one afternoon the cloud broke up and there was intermittent sunshine.

I chose to go in the late afternoon – when the sun was getting low in the sky. The shooting information shows the images were taken from 09:41, however I had forgotten to reset the time zone on my camera since my recent trip to Canada. In fact, I started shooting the sequence at 17:41 (sunset on that day was at 18:32).

I used a tripod to have a consistent image across the sequence. The camera was set to Automatic mode as set out in the brief. The images were saved as RAW files and exported as JPG from Adobe Lightroom for this exercise. They have undergone no post-processing and were exported exactly as shot in that mode.

There were ten images in all and I included four from the middle of the sequence.

I have included here tables of the image information for the four images I selected for this exercise.
