Exercise1.5: Visualising Assignment 6: Transitions.

After reading the brief of this exercise and familiarising myself with Assignment 6, I have had to start to think about what I want to photograph and how I can visualise my final assignment.

I have recently seen a fabulous image exactly like this circulating on a social media site. I have tried extensively to find it again to include it here but have been unsuccessful unfortunately. It was a transition image showing the a scene but split into 365 sections, one for every day of the year. The image obviously shows the scene through all the seasons and has very tight composition so that it is exactly the same and I can only assume each image is cropped and layered onto the original image.

This is what I hope to do with my final submission for Assignment 6. I need to find a scene close to home, with easy access, that I think will change over the duration of the course.

Firstly I need to decide whether I want to photograph an urban or a rural landscape. I am leading towards a rural landscape as this is what I really associate with the word 'Landscape', maybe a scene similar to my own preconception as described earlier in this course. Also, a rural landscape may be more susceptible to the elements and have an interesting end result through the seasons. An urban landscape will have changes, of course, but I visualise urban landscape to change through human intervention as opposed to natural.

As I live near the coast, on the bristol channel, I would like to include the vast tidal changes that we have also. I think I have mentally visualised my initial location but will have a test shoot soon to check with the camera if I can find a good enough composition to fulfil this Assignment to it's potential.
