Images and Ideas

Yesterday, I took the first lot of images for the concept.
I chose the ones that were inside (minus the soup shots).
I tried to photograph the 2nd image; being putting socks on, but I just couldn't get it right!

I decided to discard this shot from the sequence as I feel it was too much repetition with the idea of getting ready to nip out, putting shoes on represents this enough.

Here are the rest of the other images that I took:

I was testing angles here.

Got the exposure better, but the angle still wasn't quite right.

The best out of the lot at f2.2 1/60 ISO 3200

Too much soft focus and under exposure.

Still too much soft focus, better exposure.

Better, too close of a shot though, the lock needs to be shown more.

Much better, didn't want my horrible nails to be shown though.

Photographing with one hand isn't easy!

Too blurry!

Finally made it with f1.8 1/60 ISO 3200

Too over exposed, forgot to change the settings from the last few shots!

Exposure changed, now to add the key..

Took a little time to angle and capture, but I managed it here at f3.2 1/100 ISO 1600

The exposure is decent, as is the angle, but the concept of the book on the bed wasn't what I was looking for..

Putting it on the desk felt much better, the exposure needed changing though as it was a different lit area.

I added in the mug to complete the all round 'cosy' effect, though I was only aiming to get the handle in.

A final shot with the book more flat which I feel looks much better than the book cutting off too much in the corner. This was achieved at f1.8 1/60 ISO 3200.
