First Location Shoot


This post is about my first location shoot of my University course. 
For our workshop we were told to meet at Norwich Cathedral.
Our brief was to end up with for images that showed the following:


We spent a good two and a half hour there wandering round and taking photos. 
With this shoot i was well out of my comfort zone having no clue how to use my camera in manual mode! This was very daunting because everyone else seemed to have known or had been taught in previous schools where I had just been given a shoot and told to go do it! 

After a long while of fiddling and figuring out how my camera actually works, with a lot of failed attempts at pictures I had my URIKA!  moment and got the jist of how it worked, what shutter speeds,  aperture and  ISO it all needed to be on.
The Cathedral itself was magnificent and the architecture was amazing. I found it was very much like the cathedral I have local to me in Ely. However the one here doesn't have the cloisters that Norwich does.
Without further ado here is the final images from the cathedral part of this first location shoot
Extensive depth of field
Blurred movement 

After finishing at Norwich Cathedral we then all moved on to The Plantation Gardens, by this time I was fully aware how to use my camera.

Personally the Plantation Gardens was my favourite location, because it was rich in culture and history. Built into an old lime stone quarry it still shows the same charm as I imagine it would have done when it was first built in the victorian era. I love being out doors and surrounded by nature, which is probably due to the fact I live in the fens, surrounded by woodlands and fields, thriving with living things. 
Here are the final two images from this shoot that I took at the Plantation Gardens:
