Similar

I tried to take a photo similar to one of Tim Barber's (Below) I am going to recreate it as it isn't the same, at all. But the idea is there. So I just made the similar photo's Black & White. Shame I don't have a great skyline to work with near me.

Action Sequence's

Two examples of my Action Sequences from the flip pictures. These are created on Photoshop using a collection of the burst photography. It's a bit fiddly but I thinks it's worth it for the end product.

 This was the first attempt and I think it worked well, it was tricky as I didn't have a tripod so photoshop aligned them so that resulted in there be gaps in the full picture, which is why it is cropped. But I like how it shows the motion and run up to landing the flip, it's nice to show the whole thing instead of selecting just one of the photo's.

The second one I had more photo's to work with as it was a longer burst, which is a problem as it is a bit 'full' to much happening, it would probably be first to delete some of the layers so there isn't so much going on. once again no tripod, so had to crop the whole photo.

I will certainly use this technique again as it reminds of a flip-book and it looks good.

A few Freerunning Photo's

I took a few photo's of me and my friend training, I took a lot of burst photo's so I could create some action sequences, and also trying to take nice sharp photo's of them in the air. I still need to practice and get the right settings but the few photo's I got I think aren't bad.

Round 2

Carrying on with the B&W theme. I added some noise to the photo below, a little less than before, this was another with the speedlite.

 I decided to try a three way split and I like how it's turned out, I also decided not to include the faces of the subject and to focus on different areas of the photo's, I think the split helps you to focus on the separated areas, more to look at.

Another split but I decided to show the faces of the subjects, these two photo's together creates some emotion between the two.

Photo Edit Examples

Here are a few test edits on three of the photo's to show what I may do with them, Following the style of Tim Barber.

 The first edit I made the photo Black and White and added some noise into the photo through photoshop to give it the effect of an traditional camera, some of Tim's photo's has some slight noise into the photos so I decided to recreate it. I'm not to keen on this style as the photo's don't look as sharp.

 The second edit was simply Black & White, I did this as I wanted to see what the photos would look like without the noise added. I prefer to have the photo in just B&W with the contrast cranked up than adding the noise. This was one of the photo's with the speedlite, I like how it lights up the subjects face and will probably experiment with this alot more in the future as it creates some interesting photo's depending on the angle and direction of the speedlite.

The third edit was two photo's together, I cropped each individual photo and separated them with a black line, I really like this style and will continue to use it and experiment with it, Tim also uses this in his photo's and it certainly has an impact.

Photoshoot.

My first photoshoot was shot in a forest down my road, I'm still taking influences from Tim Barber so a bmx was included. While there I experimented with the speedlite to lighten up my model and darken the background in some shots, some shot's are off myself, in which I used a intervalometer, as my model had to leave. I will re-shoot with a friend, instead of having me in the shot.
