I think they&#8217;re some of the best I&#8217;ve taken in many years of (mostly film) photography. I also think I now have something of a handle on black and white digital processing, and am getting something of the &#8220;pop&#8221; that I&#8217;ve not managed to achieve before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The images get across the feelings that I was hoping to capture &#8211; the quiet, calmness of off-season Days Bay. The quality and variability of the light; the difference that weather makes to the state of the sea, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My supporting images also gave me a chance to show some of the ephemera of the bay, both things humans have built, and that the sea has deposited. This was also a chance to look at the evolved, weathered aspects of objects too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasks for this week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\/A &#8211; this is the week to edit and wrap up the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Sheets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\/A &#8211; this is the week to edit and wrap up the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This week&#8217;s best edits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general editing of my individual images was complete by this point. Instead, I worked on tweaking the images to do things like line up the horizon, and also adjusting the tonal balance between the images so that they work better as a triptych. I wanted a light, calm flow from the left through the sequence to darker, stormier mood at right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-24x18.png 24w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-36x27.png 36w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web-48x36.png 48w, https:\/\/bestir.red\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mihimihi_Project_Main_Print-for-web.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the secondary images, there were more choices for layout.
