Assignment 208 Principles of location photography Theme 1 Built Environment
12th October 2011 images taken while on a short break to South and East Devon.
Colyton Church East Devon.
Research, assignment planning and influences
Before I went on a break to Devon I researched churches of interest in the area and found that we were due to go through the village of Colyton in East Devon. Colyton has a church built in the main between 1769 and 1829 that has a beautiful white stone Lantern Tower on the top of the tower.
I was influenced by the work of Lance Wittenberg, Richard Southall and Paul Thetford Professional Photographers whose work is shown elsewhere in this blog.
Choice of equipment, safe equipment operation and health & safety
To cover the possible photographs that I would be taking I took my Canon 350D camera, 18 to 50 mm zoom lens and a 70 to 300 mm zoom lens on this assignment. It was not possible to use a tripod for these images from a health & safety point of view as there were other people around the church which has a small churchyard and a tripod would have been a hazard.
Choice of final images
The 2 images below were chosen from the 18 images taken on the assignment to best convey the style of the building and the setting of the church.
