Theme: Architectural Exploration of Salford Quays
Lydia Cooke
Predicted final outcome
I am going to produce landscape pictures of Salford Quays showing the
design and architecture as well as highlighting the Manchester area as well as
possible.
Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work
of others)
I want to use a variety of photographs of different buildings and sights at the
Quays such as day time, and night time and also different well known
buildings in that area. I want to try and show the audience seeing my
photographs that Salford isn’t what people might expect, and that it has its
beauty and scenic views just as well as anywhere else in Manchester. As this
part of Salford is now very well-known and important I need to make sure
these photographs look the best they can, to the highest quality.
I will be using a camera named Nikon d3100. I will change different elements
on the camera to achieve the best results. Such as the shutter speed, F stop,
depth of field. All depending on the time of day.
Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the
visual message

2. In the day time I will use a low aperture and high shutter speed to create
emphasis on what is in the frame, Making sure the colours and dominant
image within the frame is the best quality it can be.
If it is dark when I take my photographs I will use a high aperture and low
shutter speed but with a higher ISO to define the image.
With these techniques used, it will help me show the architecture and design
of the quays to the best ability.
