Title: New vs Old
Technique: Exploration photography looking though objects to create frames
Process: The process of this image is photography, I wanted to capture more of the foreground and blur the front image to portray the concept of "where we have been" Doing this I ensured the focus stayed on the back image. As this was during the day the camera settings needed to be alters to ensure the exposure was ok to produce a crips image.
1/200, F10, ISO400
Reasoning:The reason for this is it too look at the story of history on my home town, looking though the new to see the old or not so well kept. This is why i chose to blue the freshly painted steel and focus on the old train carriage
Reflection: As these photos were taking during the day and it just so happened that the day was very bright it was a challenge to stop the flash and reflection from coming on the metal to create an over exposed image.
Title: Next Stop
Technique: Photography storytelling image created with key landmarks to share the history of the town.
Process: For this image the story would best be told if the image was looking straight at the key elements which provide the information to the viewer. They key information was the writing of the image and it needed to be in the grid of the rule of thirds.
1/60, F10, ISO200
Reasoning: The concept of story telling triggered this image, it reminded me of an outback Australian adventure with lost of story to bring home. I liked the sign which stated when and what time the next train will be leaving.
Reflection: I think the concept all worked well the only thing I would change was the time of day I look this image.
Title: Just Passing Through
Technique: Photography storytelling and photo journalism for this image
Process: I used my DSLR Canon EOS 80D - 1/400, F10, ISO400. This image was an existing set on the side of the road.
Reasoning: I drive past this old petrol station on a regular basis and i often see people stop with old cars. This to me tells a story about Ipswich heritage and tells a story to many Ipswich residents.
Reflection: I am happy with this image how ever I would have liked to stage it a bit better with a motor bike or a vintage car however it is on private property.

Title: Horsepower
Technique: Photography storytelling and photo journalistic technique created a sense of connection. This connection is developed with the eye contact between the driver and the viewer.
Process: Capturing this passion and nerves was successfully achieved by look straight down the lens at the person. The lighting was important so I ensured that the camera was set appropriately for the lighting and positioning of the sun. Once I was happy with this image I incorporated photoshop to remove distracting imaged from behind the drivers head. The use of the iris blur tool to focus on the driver and to blur the rest of the background. There was also a few imperfections on the vehicle which i removed
1/250, F10, ISO 400
Reasoning: The camera positioning highlights and complements the feeling in this image. It is a view from the car and what it would see if looking back. This technique was perfect for this story.
Reflection: There was a few images which were taken to achieve this photo journalism technique however I was extremely happy with the end result of photoshop and capturing of the moment.
