Research and Response

So I serious lacked research to back up why I took my sunset shots. Originally it was just because it was pretty and on my way home from the market hall, and to the market hall in the mornings, I often see the glorious colours in the clouds as the sun sets and rises.

Research-

Matt Mollow
I find Matt Mollow's  work aesthetically pleasing because he has managed to capture all the fantastic colours that I only get to see if I am lucky, most of the time the colours I get to see are washed out and pale, especially in comparison with his work.

Joseph Rossbach

Although I dont enjoy Rossbach's work as much as Matt Mollow, the results in his work is a far more realistic approach as to what I am able to capture myself. I live near a beach so shots of the sea is possible, although capturing a sunset set not as easily as the sun rises on my side of the Isle of Man and I know I wont be awake to see the sunrise.

Harri and Deepti
So far it is just an idea, but if the weather doesn't improve so I can get outside and take some more sunset shots, I will try and create sunsets using cut paper and shine light though them. Not sure if I will do this but i have research and I have bought some fair trade paper that is handmade which is coloured, so hopefully the light will interact nicely with the colour.

My DreamCatchers
As I have considered taking some photographs of my dream catchers that I have made, I feel like I ought to look at the different weaves and styles that can be used. The first image show my little bit of dream catcher research along with the original images that sparked my interest in taking more photographs of the dream catchers.

Response
Below are the contact sheets for the photographs I took using my Lumix G3 camera. Saved as jpegs as I would have run out of space on my sd card, my intention is to overlay some of the cloud images that i took and combine them using photoshop to try and make cloud lapses like photographer Matt Mollow created.
