Assignment 2: People and activity

At first I couldn't decide what to do for this assignment, I couldn't think of any sporting activities or social events locally. All I could think of was the farmers market held every month where I live. For this assignment I’ve tried to capture the people who visit the market and the stall holders. I have cropped most of the photos in this assignment.

Photograph 1

For the first photo I wanted to show a distance shot of the market. This is the top of the market square. This shot was really to show people walking into the market. I think this photo has strong lines in it with the clock and surrounding buildings.
ISO 200, F/6.3, 1/500 sec,
18 mm.

Photograph 2

 

 

In this photo I wanted to show one side of the market and some of the stall holders. I think the lady in front of her stall was just checking to see if everything looked right. I like the contrast in this photo and the texture. I think the sky and the top of the surrounding buildings look slightly over exposed.
ISO 200, F/4.5, 1/500 sec,
18 mm. 

Photogrqaph 3

 

I saw a few people around a couple of stalls and thought would make a good photo. It looked like they were just looking at the stall. The photo looked too underexposed; you couldn't really see the People's faces that well. So I used the levels in Photoshop to open up the mid tones. I am not sure how much post processing I can do for assignments.
ISO 200, F/4.8, 1/500 sec,
48 mm.

Photograph 4

In this photo I wanted to capture people walking around and those people sat on the seat eating. Again I like the contrast in this photo. There seems to be a lot of activity in this photo people looking at the stall, people eating and some just walking around.
ISO 200, F/9, 1/500 sec,
35mm.

Photograph 5

I in this photo I wanted a close-up to capture the stall holders and the people walking around. I like the differing expressions on people's faces in this photo. Again with this photo the colour and contrast look ok, but at the top of the photo it looks a bit weaker. I don't know if this is because it is a really sunny day, if anything it looks slightly hazy.
ISO 200, F/6.3, 1/500 sec,
92 mm.

Photograph 6

I wanted to show people looking and buying from a stall. I like the colours and tones in this photo. Also like the texture of the floor.
ISO 200, f/3.5, 1/500 sec,
18mm.

Photograph 7

This is another close up photo of people looking at a stall.  Again this photo has some nice colours in it. I like the texture of the man jumper.
ISO 200, f/9, 1/500 sec,
66 mm.

 Photograph 8

 

In this photo there is a number of people doing different things, and group of them talking outside the black bull pub. I thought this would make a good photo because there were people doing different activities. I like the contrast in this photo and the colours especially the colour of the lady’s cardigan who is still at the burger van.
ISO 200, f/9, 1/500 sec,
35 mm.

Photograph 9

I wanted a close-up of one stall. I really like the tones is this photo. This photo also nice colours in it.
ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/500 sec,
105 mm.

Photograph 10

I saw this lady walked away from a stall, I thought this would make a good close-up photo. This is my favourite photo of this assignment. She really stands out against the slightly blurred background. I think her face slightly over exposed.
ISO 200, f/11, 1/500 sec,
105 mm.
