Contact Sheets

Here are the contact sheets from my shoot.

I did find the shoot overall quite challenging. I struggled at points to get the exposure on each crease of the glass correct. I also had to try various methods of adding the blue gel as it many it was not very clear. 

I tried changing the position of the bottle to see if that would help me get the image i want.

I felt that near towards to end of my shoot when my lecturer Mike helped me and changed the background that it became easier and clearer of how I had to set up my lighting.

Shooting the above images was proving to be very challenging and I was struggling to get the shade and tones which I wanted. I also felt that the lighting was perhaps a little too dark and this was causing the blue tones within the bottle to be too dark a which was causing me to lose detail in the bottle.

I felt that with these images I made some progress. after releasing the blue tones wee too dark I changed my lighting set up so that it the blues were lighter which I feel worked well in adding more detail of the bottle.

After having a chat with my lecturer Mike, he helped me rearrange my layout so that my lighting was not so dark and so that I would have an entire blue background which would add my tones and contract to the images without losing of the crucial detail. I felt better towards the end of the shoot but realised that I would need to shoot again in order to get the best images I wanted.
