splatter report not much happening with in the project

1/31/2014

again we have been going out twice a week over dec and jan but we have not found much we have tried the larger roads rob and sam have suggested with no success eather it has been very cold but with all the increased traffic over the holiday period i would have though there would have been more.

i have started to look in to book macking with i the project. i am not confident with the idea of hand making a book yet we have just had a book binding lecture which was very good but its not how i see my book i see it as more of a soft back.

my realy looked hand made it was a little wonky so i think if i am to make a book i might use blurb that way it will not look messy and i can create the soft cover i want also dubble sides photo paper is hard to come buy and dosent come in the paper style i would like.

this image is all about perspective and lines there are 4 dividing lines running horizontally parallel to the animal theses lines do draw the eye up through the image its something that i would like to incorporate in to my image where possible i do wish i had gotten closer to the animal
the light dosent reach it as much as i would like although the fox was so far gone i think it was partly due to the rain it has been very stormy over the last few days. i can see some small dots in the image thsat i did not see on my mac at home this is a small problem which is easly corectble i have started to put the images on full brightness so i can see all the spots and remove them i haven dose this image yet i just though it was ok and noow looking j can see it is not.

the blackness in this image is alot more than some i don't know if this is because of the fact there is not a lot around the fox to light or if my settings where different i have looked and they are then same as all of other images of the same style. we have been finding a little more than december but i am so worries that i will not find enough images intime for the deadline and what if some of the images are slightly out of focus i won't be able3 to use them it is so hard to see if they are in focus when outside looking on the small screen its the bigist problem when photographing the images and it dose worry me.

last night was a long trip we did find this rabbit. just before we where going to go home

it was very fresh when we came across it the road

was mildly bizzy the problem was we where outside a house so we didn't want to stay to long as the man had already come outside to see if we where ok he did have a very nosy dog the hole exsperence was very unerving this issure was focusing it was very light rain so it look a while to focus the camera the water driplits where getting on the lens evan with a lense hood the rain was still falling on the glass in this image you can see one o the dots on the image this is something i didn't see when first editing i am using the uni macs and my mac must be different screen brightness or something. there is a pole in the image something that i am tempted to Photoshop out of the final image. i think the rabbit is in focus with in this image although I'm not 100% sure i think it dosent matter with in this image if its on the line because i can clearly see what the animal is.

this image was taken on the same day as the bird a squirrel lying by the houses. houses have not been with in any of my images and i don't think it works as well the animal dosent feel so isolated but it dose show the links between animal and human having the death right o there door step . again visual it dosent tiy in with the rest of my work i think the light bounces of the fence and gate to much it seems to green the grave yard on the other side of the road is mildly illuminated it dosent have the same affect as the other images the fading to darkness is not as obvious as before

i do like the way this image looks although the bird was so small i was unable to see what it was I'm still unsure what bird it could have been the fetehrs where a light grey though most if it was covered in blood. the lighting works well with in the image the right hand side just fades in to black the tunnel affect dose seem to be sucking in the bird if anything i think i needed to put a little bit more light on the bird.

so this is the layout for my half of the book i don't know if this is the final version Bex and I need to spend some moor time together to make are books work together as well as septate. The poems don't all go with the images but when the book is folded they all work together. I Feel a lot happier that each image has a poem it links the book with Bex as hers is about are experiences on the trips it also adds a voice to each photo. the layout of the poems work well for me I original had the text in block from but it looked to contained.
I love the font it almost has a type writer feel to it like something you would see in police reports it gives it that crime sceen feel like a murder thats somting i want to keep with in my imagery i want to keep that theam evan if its not completly forensic it needs to have the hint

what dose worrie me is the liking with bex's project dose it have to link?
the images are all about the destruction of man and the emotions i have when finding the animals are my emotions relevant do they work with the images in the wright way i am still not 100% sure they do look good together but looking good and working well are different things.
