My work is revolved around concert photography and I used motion images because my photos are all action shots from the concert. I chose this theme because I always think photos from concerts look really cool. I also chose to do this because I thought the graphics at this concert were really epic and cool so I wanted to capture them. I thought the eye (which also had hands of a clock in it) was really different to anything else I had ever seen at a concert and I liked how in these pictures your eyes get drawn to the eye in the background rather than the band performing below abut when you look at the band I like how small they appear in comparison to the screen because the screen was an immense size.
I was able to achieve my subject and theme by constantly taking pictures of this one part of the concert. These eyes only appeared during one of the songs during about half of it so I took a bunch of pictures of the eyes while they were on the stage and instead of waiting to take the pictures I constantly pressed the button to take the pictures. In photoshop I made the images larger to fit the height of 8 and width of 10 and lined them up so they would all appear to start and end at the same area. After doing that I used levels on every picture to make them appear nicer and then adjusted the contrast and brightness so they all would look a little less bright than they already were. I then adjusted the color balance because some pictures looked slightly more yellow in some areas.
My strongest photo is my third photo. I think my third photo is my strongest photo because the composition is done well. I also feel like that one stands out more in comparison to the rest of the pictures even though it is pretty similar to my fourth photo. My weakest photo is probably the second photo in the set. This picture is slightly blurry and you can tell the fire had fully covered the eye and was fading back in to the eye to restore the eye being just a plain eye but I still like it and I feel like the blurriness makes it look pretty cool.
If I had to change anything about my work I probably wouldn't. I really like how all of these pictures came out and I like how I made the stage off center and had the gap of black next to where the screens ended. I like how the composition of the photos are set up and how each picture you can progressively see the flames getting bigger or closer to filling the entire eye. I think the fact that you have the first picture just being an eye and then the rest of the eyes having flames is neat. I like how each picture sen though some are similar you can still tell the set up and composition of the photo is just like the one before it.
