Book assignment

These are the shots I have chosen to present in a book for my final piece of the book assignment. My theme for my book was night photography, with a horror theme. To create this, I used a canon 1000D camera, With an ISO of 200-400, a small aperture and a shutter speed of 10-20 seconds. The mode I set my camera to was TV. I also experimented with a film camera, however these were unsuccessful. I shot these images in Swillington, A village near Leeds. The location of the images was in the graveyard, the streets and the canal. 

With theses images, I wanted to concentrate wholly on the landscape, therefore there was no people in the images. I feel this adds the the horror aspect of the images as it gives the images a feeling of loneliness and that there is no were to hide.

The lasts shots I took, were taken with a shutter speed of 1/25 sec and f13 using flash. I decided to change the camera settings for these shots as there were street lights around that location with could support the flash in creating a clear image.

I feel happy with these these shots as I feel they have achieved what I visualized to shoot and I have experimented with a process that I had never done before and the result was effective.

For this assignment, I am going to produce images In my village , Swillington which is an old mining village with many interesting historical buildings and places. The assignment will focus on horror images, Particularly places in swillington said to be haunted. Thee buildings include St Mary's church , which has an old graveyard with graves dating back to 1360, When the church was built. The church has a cream base and a dark, haunting tower. 
Other places include walkways and paths which have been abandoned over time and are also said to be haunted.
I have chosen areas all across the village and will present the images so it gives the impression of a journey around the village.
My images will be shot at night, using a small aperture and long shutter speed. I will also use a tripod.
