Car magazine photos and Evaluation
Car Magazine Evaluation
In this assignment we had to decide on a topic to base our magazine project on, I chose to do a magazine about cars. This meant that I had to research on other car and, motor magazines that are already available across the country. I took notes on the different types of camera angles, cars, and manufactures that are normally featured in those magazines.
I felt that if I were to make a car magazine I would enjoy taking pictures of all different types of cars that patrolled London and I knew I would enjoy it more if I was to see for example; new cars, expensive cars and fast sports cars. I wasn’t really trying to take really dynamic images; I was aiming to take regular pictures, which people are used to seeing in car magazines so that it would be a familiar view of how car pictures are taken. My target audience is generally aimed towards men or, people that enjoy reading car magazines.
I started making a mood board of what types of cars I was hopefully looking to come across and also what car manufactures would be great to feature in the magazine if possible so, I chose to do the mood board on PowerPoint which would make it easy for me to add and customise exactly how I wanted my mood board to look like. This helped me when I started my mind map as it narrowed down the specifics I was looking for to help me with my magazine so, I could get started on taking pictures of what cars I wanted in the magazine.
When I started taking pictures I didn’t have a primary idea of what sort of cars I would be taking pictures of, as long as they fitted into the mind map’s persona then I would take a picture of it. But the main type of cars did turn out to be either; sports, luxury or expensive vehicles. When I did finish taking my pictures I decide to make a short video montage of them and add a soundtrack to it to make it a bit interesting. I used Final Cut Pro to edit my pictures by making them move or rotate.

Car mood-board

- The two slides above are concepts of what my photography is going to be about. The mood-board represents the type of vehicles i am hoping to take pictures of, whilst the mind map specifies the type of images i am looking to capture.

shutter speed
- Use shutter speed priority, set your camera to 'S' on the mode dial.
- set the shutter speed to 1/125 of a second or higher.
- constantly review your images as you take them and adjust the shutter speed accordingly.
- if the image is to dark, use the flash, or use a lower shutter speed.
- if the image is too bright or the image is still blurred use a higher shutter speed
Light Graffiti
Light graffiti is preformed by changing the camera's shutter speed to a longer duration in order to receive a blurred picture. Whilst performing light graffiti having low exposure is good so that not much light will enter the frame of the picture. I used a small torch to create the images which i made i found it easy to use to create images because of its size, it allowed me to create the freedom to make anything which larger torches wouldn't of allowed me to do.

Shutter Zoom
using this technique you simply have to zoom in and out whilst taking the picture but, it is much harder then it sounds as you have to master the timing of 1/25 sec or less.
Panning Shots
- i was using a shutter priority mode and the shutter speed was 1/50th of a second. To do a panning shot the camera needs to move at the speed as the moving object whilst the shutter is pressed.
Blurred Motion
i put the camera in shutter prioty mode (TV) and dial in a low shutter speed of 1/25 second. I didnt use a tripod this time but if i was to do this again i would, so that the images would be very sharp.
