Admittedly I am not overly pleased with the photographs that I did capture this time. I was working in low light - depsite it being the middle of the day - and without a tripod or a flash my camera struggled with exposures. On top of this I was working on some cramped conditions so my balance was not as good making some of the pictures more blurry.
This photo demonstrates how poorly me and the camera was coping with the conditions. Nothing is in focus.
This photo I believe I can rescue, maybe. Or definitely worth reshooting. The bell which says "I love you Mom" is the only one which is in focus. This is very fitting to the topic of the book.
One of two hearts I want to include, the other one says Mother on it. I want them both landscape however, and a lot better than this photo. The white balance is completely scew-iff and the heart itself is a tad soft.
This photo is spot on sharpness wise, but exposure is much too low. I doubt it can be rescued.
This photo is spot on with regards to exposure but a little soft due to a long shutter speed.
The table in itself is something I definitely need to reshoot - kept by great-grand daughter Chloe, aged ten, all of the belongings were my Grans including the table. The frame did hold another photo.
I shot Chloe with the table that she keeps for Grans memory. There is too much space at the top of the frame but I now have other ideas on how to reshoot this. For example, not necessarily including the entire table top.
One locket from inside the jewellery box (see below), containing a photograph of my Grandad and my Grandma. I would prefer this photograph if it were landscape.
The contents of the jewellery box really stand out in this frame. Possibly due to the slight underexposure, making the box black and red. The contents were all my Grans. This is something else that need to changed to landscape.
Overall I am disapointed with the outcomes that I got from the pictures. I need to revisit the ones I have and take with my a flash gun next time. The bonus that I have had from this visit is now knowing what to expect both in terms of light and space ready for next time.
I will probably borrow equipment too next time form Paul to give me more option for shooting with regards to lenses. I currently only have a 50mm and a 17-40mm for my Canon.
