Today I shot my final images, I was going to use the interior stairs in my building however although the light was good I felt the framing would not work. I had to shoot them in colour as I was using interval shooting But I will make them black and white. I ended up just shooting in the domestic environment. The camera settings were F4.4, shutter speed 1/13 (using a tripod so this reduced blur) ISO 1000. These were the presets of Interval shooting I would have used different settings if I had completed this manually.
I then created a contact sheet using the contact sheet generator and I added my title, device and date
I then opened Photoshop, and chose the images I wanted for the final sequence. I had an idea I would like images like panels like in a church. So I cropped the images so only the background door and the subject were visible so they became long and thin and then I went to image, mode and grayscale to make them black and white. I selected each image and then clicked on 'copy' and then went to the canvas I had created (A3 Black Background). I then clicked into this and then pasted them. I used the transform control to adjust the size and position - making sure there was equal positioning between each image (82pts). I then used the text tool to add the title which was in Bookman Old Style at 30pts. I wanted it to look a little also like old photos in Gurdjieff's books and also instructional like an old yoga manual. I then flattened the final image and downloaded as a jpeg.
Reflection
The images here are okay the look is about right however with more time I would have shot these again manually and adjusted for light changed I would also have created more and tried out different sequences. The black and white and panels work quite well and overall they were what I intended however technically these could be improved.
