Re-making My Website

After going over my original website, I decided to make a new one to update my pictures and to make it accessible for people to get to as the previous site wasn't as clear to navigate as I would have liked and felt that it didn't look as professional. I chose to go with  4ormat as my peers had used it and mentioned how simple it was to use with links to social media, one of my favorite features is that it can be viewed on a tablet or mobile phone meaning that I can check how it's working on my own phone while I'm on the move. In this post I have included a few screen shots of how I managed my work with information on why I chose those images.

 

In this section I have selected which images from my times on Dartmoor I wanted to show, as I enjoy visiting the moors and felt that I should include that as separate section as I have a lot of images from projects and my own work. The most recent images I have put at the front of the section to keep people interested and up to date, showing images from the White Horse Hill project that I am currently working on.

The next section that I have looked into is portraiture, as my most current project that will be shown in London is portraiture based. This section is one of the smaller ones which I am going to expand over time as I gain more confidence in myself with meeting new people and photographing them. I am hoping to carry on the St Lawrences project after the final hand in because I think that I could try to get more people and possibly show my work in a space in Bodmin where the previous workers are based.

This page is the first page that people will see when they look at my website, I wanted so showcase the best of my landscape pictures as I want to continue working in landscape photography. Having a mix of different work shows the different skills that I have alongside the different interests that influence my pictures. Along with these pages there is a page dedicated to my National Trust work and a page named Other, that has some of my film images alongside pictures that I have taken that don't fit into the other categories. There is also a about me page and a contact page for people to get in touch with me if they want to know anything about my work or possible clients.

Here is the link to my new fully running website lrundlephoto.co.uk

Images From White Horse Hill

After a very long trek and almost falling into the marshes, I have edited my images from just under 700 to about 30. Below I have put a selection of what I think are the best out of that small bunch to highlight the different parts of the Moors that caught my attention the most. Being up at such a height it indescribable, as you are able to see so much of the countryside and the surrounding area that it can make you feel small in comparison. I have tried to show this in my images by drawing attention to the way that the land flows and the dominate clouds that threatened to rain any second. There are more images from this series on my website lrundlephoto.co.uk

The Cist itself was something to be admired, as it has survived for such a long time and looked to be in really good condition. To be able to take picture of it and to see it myself I count myself very lucky as not everybody gets to see something like that up close and personal. The images below show the Cist in it's natural setting which emphasizes it's surroundings.

A Day Out On Dartmoor

Having been out on Dartmoor before, I had an idea of what I could be up against in regards to the terrain and weather that can change very quickly. The imagery that I have created previously has influenced my ideas for what I have photographed on White Horse Hill. For my contribution to the exhibition that will be held in the museum I have taken photographs of the area around the Cist and the Cist itself, as I want to show the scale of the land against the size of the Cist.

The images I have shot will be shown in colour to emphasize the different textures and ways that the landscape is broke up with different patterns and colours that draw the viewer in. They will highlight how large the landscape is with the sky contrasting against it to give the images more depth. I want to show the natural landscape which can be seen through how I have used the rule of thirds and depth of field. With the images of the Cist I wanted to show the textures of the stones that had made it up, with contrasts against the peat that it was embedded in to give my images more depth.

Going up to White Horse Hill was quite a trek as I hadn't walked that far before. I enjoyed being in a new environment and spending a large amount of time on Dartmoor as I want to continue taking pictures there. The way that the land changes and the affects of the weather can be seen as they can be really drastic in regards to how the landscape looks. I will continue to edit the images that I have taken and will be uploading them to show what I am working on, as I want people who are interested in the Moors to see my images so that I can get more interest and possible work.
