Day to night photos (project)

project evaluation

How it went -
I expected the project to go a lot better than what it did and i was a little disappointment how it turned out, the weather had a big impact on how the pictures finally came out and when I put them together it didn't come out how I thought. This was the first time round so I went out again in to town and around where I live and just got a  couple of pictures instead of loads therefore I could concentrate on the picture quality instead of rushing and getting quantity.

Over all I got around 6 different pictures, If I were to do it again I would have done it over a longer period of time to get both quality and quantity as I do not feel that 6 pictures are enough. I used Photoshop to help get the pictures in to line and the help improve the quality and finally when I finished all 6 pictures they didn't look so bad. Although they didn't meet my standards and what I wanted them to look like (what they looked like in my head) I still think I did a pretty decent job.

Sebastião Salgado - workers

In 1986 Sebastião Salgado began a series of reportages on the theme of manual labor, throughout the different continents. This work was conceived to tell the story of an era. The images offer a visual archaeology of a time that history knows as the Industrial Revolution, a time when men and women work with their hands provided the central axis of the world. The pictures Salgado took all had a story behind them, they all had a meaning and had an impact small or big on a lot of people. I think his idea behind this was to show what we have. These people were still working with their hands, no technology or and machinery to help them. This would have taken a much longer time to complete jobs than it would without machinery. We still complain about jobs even though we have all this technology etc and I think this is what Salgado was trying to show through pictures.
