• I want to capture the
atmosphere and how the
area makes people feel. Its
quite a built up little area
and I will make sure I show
how busy with buildings it is
but then how quiet it is
around the edges just
surrounded by water. It’s a
very modern looking
location. I will get different
angles of buildings to show
how tall they look from
standing all the way down at
the bottom.

area so I make sure I can
sum up the area in10 pictures
of how I see and what I see
to be important. I am going
to take pictures of what I find
most interesting of Salford
Quays and what inspires me.
• I want to capture the
landscape.
• I think Salford Quays is a
good place to capture
landscapes and show urban
landscapes because its built
up with a mixture of old and

5. • I want to take these images to show how
different one location can be when the
images are taken all across Salford Quays. I
want to show all the different aspects and
depths through my photos. I want to take
lots so I can see which ones I like more and
get a range of images.
• I am inspired and want to produce similar
photos to Davis Hockney because I like how
he puts all his images together to make a
big pictures which show what all the little
ones are. I would like to try this style by
taking pictures of all the big iconic places in
Salford Quays and all the people and try
and piece them all together to create a
big picture of it with all the little ones.
I also am inspired by Ansel Adams after looking
and researching him I like how all his pictures are
black and white. I would like to use this in some
of my images because I think it makes people
concentrate on what's in the image and the
detail rather than the colour. It gives the viewer
more to think about and shows of all the different
shades and shadows you wouldn’t notice so
easily normally.

6. I will be using a DSLR camera
for my pictures because it can
shoot in HD and I want all my
pictures to capture the details
of Salford Quays. I can also use
the auto settings on this
camera so that my pictures
come out better because the
lighting and shutter speed etc.
is chosen for me. However I
can use manual mode on it
also if I wanted to give my
images a different effect by
making shutter speed slower or
faster to make things blurred or
focus on something more
specific.
I may also use a tripod to get
my shots straight and to make
sure there is no blurring.

7. I want to try different shutter speeds
on my images and take a few
pictures of the same shot so I can
see the effect it has on moving
things. I want to take some shots
with people in so that when the
shutter speed is slow it will make
them blur. I am going to frame my
shots so that there is a main focus. I
want some of the objects and
buildings to fill the shot then others
to show the landscape around it.
With my tripod I want to take some
high shots where the camera is I want to use lots of different
looking up to the sky to give tall styles so my pictures convey
buildings a skyscraper look. I will different messages and show

thirds to give my shots a different
look.

8. I will be going in
February 2013 It

around 9.30-
12.30. This is so
that it wont be
to busy and its
not getting dark
it’s the middle of
the day so sunny
and good for
taking pictures.
