Damon Clarke - Emulation Plan

This photo was taken by Damon Clarke and focuses on the intricate details of a leaf using the sun to highlight it from behind. I have chosen to emulate this photo as it delves further into how macro can be used to give a different perspective on nature.
To recreate this image I would need to use a macro lens focusing on the majority of the image therefore would require a low aperture of at least f/8. This photo may also require using a high shutter speed to counter act the sun behind the leaf

Jeroen Stel - Emulation Plan

This photo is part of Jeroen Stel's blue collection. It was one of the photos I featured earlier in my conventions power point and I have decided to emulate this photo because of the blue filter which emphasizes the cold of winter.

To recreate this image I am going to need a camera preferably using a 50-200mm lens with an aperture of around f/8 to maintain focus throughout the photo. As well as tripod to steady the image. I will also need to edit the photo in Photoshop to create the same cold atmosphere as the original.

Macolm Farrow - Emulation

Contact Sheet:
Chosen Photo:
I choose this photo out of the photos above as I feel it has the closest resemblance to Macolm Farrows work. For this photo I have used an aperture of 4 recreate the same depth of field as is present in the original image while using exposure time of 1/200 sec and ISO of 500 to compensate for the aperture, which increased the brightness of the photo.

Below I have edited the image to further resemble Macolm Farrows by rotating it to portrait as well as altering the colour balance and the levels which increased the contrast bringing out more colours in the background.

Malcolm Farrow - Emulation Plan

Malcolm Farrow is photographer based in Suffolk. His work many focuses on coastal scenery and wildlife. I have chosen to emulate the photo on the right as it displays many of the common wildlife photography conventions such as blurring out the background in order to draw all attention to the subject of the photo.
To recreate this image I am going to need:

  • A camera preferably using a macro lens and and a large aperture of around 2.8. A low ISO to prevent a grainy image.
  • A tripod to steady the image.
  • A butterfly in a green natural surroundings.
