In the previous shoot, I looked at my research log and image bank to come up with the idea of placing glow sticks in water in order to enhance the colours and make them stand out more. I looked in several different shops to buy thick glow sticks so I would only have to put one into the water and it would be brighter. However, I could not find these anywhere and therefore had to put six smaller ones into each bottle. Overall, I feel they give the same effect as the thicker one as they were just as bright and filled up the bottle with different lights. I like the effect that is emitted to the viewer as the bright colours in each bottle contrast from one another and stand out. One of my biggest problems when coming back in to the class and looking at the images on photoshop was the sharpness of the images. This is because I did not use the camera on a tripod and then when I took the images, some of the colours emitted less light and therefore the shutter speed was slower. This made some of the images, particularly the red ones blurred. To combat this, I had to go back in and retake the images using a tripod.
I took the above image as a whole on photoshop, then edited it so that each bottle was on its own. By doing this I was able to put all of the bottles lined up with a black background on photoshop. One image from the shoot that did not work so well and an example of how the camera should have been left on the tripod was the following image. You can see that in comparison to the top image that the image is much more unfocused and it is harder to determine what the photo is off.
