Shoot 6 - Evidencing Abraham Ormerod Medical Centre

Abraham Ormerod Medical Centre is a derelict and Abandoned building in Todmorden which closed in 2004. The site is part of a controversial murder case focused on Harold Shipman. I wanted to evidence something from the derelict building.I photographed these objects in the studio on the product table using model lighting. I used two lights either side of the objects the highlight them evenly. I wanted to create a series of photographs that capture every aspect of the object. Therefore this is why i used a selection of composition ideas for example photographing using a macro lens within the bullseye composition technique to capture that detail within the can and on the exterior of the can and then i focussed on a rule of thirds composition placing the object (can) in the central third as a focus point for the viewer. I believe both composition ideas created a powerful impact but i feel the photographs with the macro 50mm lens that i used acheived more detailed and conversational and aesthetically pleasing photographs. When photographing within the studio i experimented with the aperture at f/16 to ensure not alot of light was let into the shot, as there was bright model lights highlight the objects. I then experimented with a shutted speed of between 1/40 - 1/125 to ensure the camera wasnt exposed to the light for too long ensuring the photograph didnt come out too over exposed or under exposed.
