Redeemer Nightclub, Leicester

The photographs below were taken at Redeemer Nightclub in Leicester. I've been working there for almost a year now and below are just a few of what I've done. Nightclub photography isn't my type at all, but I mainly went into it for the experience, with this gaining a huge amount of confidence at the same time. The photo's look like they might be point and shoot, but that's where its different, every club is different. Redeemer in particular is very dark and has a lot of coloured lights as well as smoke machines, for a photographer smoke machines are the worst! There are so many different things you have to be aware of when taking nightclub photo's that you might not usually do taking photo's out in the open. The settings I use is a 1/6 Shutter f.3.5 ISO:100 (with an attached speed light) I found these settings worked best and also the quality of the photo's outside managed to stay the same and didn't become over exposed which was great. Still after all this time I cannot say I've managed to learn the complete technique.

Italy

Last week from the 25th - 28th February the photography department visited Bergamo, Italy. I've never particularly crazed about going to Italy like most people, although after staying in Bergamo I'd like to stay in Sicily as this is where most tourists go due to how beautiful it is. It was amazing to actually be in Italy and walking around on the cobble stone paths and down tall narrow streets as it's usually seen only in films.
On the second day we visited a Museum in Milan, we also got given the chance to climb the Dumo di Milano which is Milan's Cathedral Church one the Milan's main tourist attractions. The Cathedral is the fifth largest in the world!
Below are a few photo's around Bergamo and Milan.

Birmingham

Last week I went to Birmingham to visit a friend and decided it would be an idea to take a few photo's. Unfortunately due to the freezing cold weather I gave up after two photo's. Anyway I really like how colourful they both are.

Nightscapes

Since last year I had decided to make a personal project on a sequence of Nightscapes. I had never experiment with long exposures until we were given a brief at college, after this I continued to produce more for my own work. I loved the outcome's and soon got addicted! As you can see some of my images are stronger than others, this shows my development throughout the year. I will continue to produce more Nightscapes this year, however moving away from the country side and experimenting with urban/derelict buildings.
