Feeling a bit disillusioned.
I had made some definite style decisions for the journey part of the project and stuck by them on the shoot. I picked up the negs and have now scanned them, they have come out ok but I am just not feeling them as I would like. On the shoot I tried not to make them look too landscape-y by trying to project this following a route idea, but they are just rather dull.
I like the archive ones much more, they are very typical of the sort of thing I do. I 'm not sure whether to focus on them or what.
I had planned another on location shoot but then decided to do the scanning first to see how I felt about what I had already taken. That seems a good decision now, as I don't think I can just go on doing what I was doing , and not being happy with the results, its costing a fortune.
also , knowing that we will only be able to show a couple of images each at the final show, it feels more sensible to use the archive shots as that set doesn't need to be shown in its entirity to make sense. Just a couple of images from the journey project wouldn't really look like a journey just a couple of rather naff canal shots!
hope to get to talk to a tutor tomorrow, as someone's thoughts other than my own would be welcome.
