Second trip round Hartlepool


Second trip round Hartlepool

As these things usually go the second time round was more successful than the first and it’s clear that I’m making progress with operating the camera which you can see in the composition. For this shoot I decided to reshoot one of the first locations I went with the camera because I was disappointed with the composition due to the cars (on the left edge) that distract the viewer from the main points of the photo. This time I decide to shoot portrait to avoid those cars and to get more of the texture of the brick work. With these minor adjustments the quality of the outcome is increased and it has greater potential. Due to the fact that I only had two pieces of film, I decided that I would find the two best photos in the immediate area so that led to the creation of the second photo. I know the photo isn’t great but I’m sure this location has potential because you can feel the character of the area as you walk through it. With a bit more time or a different camera I could have given it justice.
I think I’m at a level now that I could go out with the camera and make a go of it, so I will plan different locations to shoot and start recording some good images for the theme.
