This week involved more studio filming, but this time I forgot to use my still camera. However, this pose had stood out to me while filming, so again I took a frame from the video. Again the only post production was changing the aspect ratio. I really like this shot, the colours are so nice! One of my favourite people shots I've taken (well, kind of!)

Project52: Week Sixteen - Couple
Here is a photo from filming. Had some issues with the light (which were easily fixed in Lightroom) but I'm disappointed in how it is slightly out of focus, though luckily it's not too noticeable at smaller sizes. Otherwise I really like this photo.
Project52: Week Fifteen - Masks
As part of my short film for Studio, I have mask-wearing gypsies. So I made the masks and took some photos along the way to put in my process diary. Turns out they were the only photos I took that week, so I picked the least blurry for this week's photo. I think the camera had trouble focusing with all that glitter! They were good fun to make though.
Project52: Week Fourteen - Bush Filming
Okay, so this week I cheated. It was the mid semester break, so of course this week of all weeks I didn't get a single photo. But, looking back, I realised that I recorded the background plates for my short film. So this is a still shot from it. It was the first time that I had tried taking a still frame from video. For those that are wondering - it was filmed in High Definition, I took the still in Premiere then opened it in Photoshop to convert it to the right aspect ratio (as it was recorded in 1.33, not square pixels). Much easier process than I thought, and picture quality is just as good as if I'd used a still camera in my opinion.
Project52: Week Thirteen - Easter
So it's been a while since I've updated. Uni is crazy (and will be crazy for a few more weeks, then it's all over, yay!) so I thought I'd quickly take some time out to post up the photos from the last couple of weeks. Admittedly most were not taken on purpose, and hence are not perfect, but I just don't have time at the moment. Therefore some are video stills from filming etc. I can't wait until semester is over and I can get back into spending some time with the camera.
I really wanted to do something Easter related. Not really what I had in mind, but I like the colours.
