AaronWayne Photography

I’m currently in the middle of attending an 8 week photography course and just completed our first assignment. We were set the task of taking a range of photos starting at approximately one hour before sunset through to 30 minutes to an hour after the sun had set. Our goal was capture the time frame about 10 minutes after the sun had set after the lighting had gone from warm, to cool, to the amazing blue light you will see below, which lasts anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on how fast the sun is setting

Afterwards, we were to select our favourite 6 photos (for me, it was choosing 6 photos out of 120 images) and showing the tutor/class. In the six, we had to choose one from the start, one from the end then a nice mixture in the middle. Watching the ambient light changing and the shadows on the buildings appearing was a very educational experience. I will upload add a time lapse over the next week with all the photos so you can see how the lights changed.

I decided to try my hand at some black and white photography, though I didn’t have a willing model so I tried some self portraits while I was at it. I was aiming to try and get some shadows across the face but given I was out at a public place, I was only able to use the fixed lights on hand. There are a couple of photos that aren’t completely black and white but I do like the minimal amount of colour in them.

Let me know what you think!
