I have chosen Roche Rock to be the primary location of each of my main magazine shots, from these images I shall take the backgrounds for my front cover and contents page while making use of some as accompanying images. I initially chose to hold my photoshoot at these ruins to capture images that appropriately represented the historical elements of Cornish life

This is a very typical shot of Roche Rock, I would not plan to use this image because of it's similarity to others I have seen taken by other photographers. although I do like the gradual graduation of white to blue in the sky background.

I wasn't happy with the lack of colour variation in this shot, it doesn't help to promote the idea that Cornish weather is always sunny with clear blue skies. again this is a very stereotypical shot of Roche Rock.

I managed to capture a little more colour in this shot, however it still appears very dull and uncharacteristic.

I was more pleased with this shot because of the inclusion of the oddly shaped rock to the right of the image in conjunction with the ruins.

I was extremely pleased with this shot, the sun finally came out and reflected nicely off of the side of the ruins, I particularly like the variety of natural colours featured in the image.

This image is slightly brighter than the previous shot, I believe the sun rays coming from the bottom right add quite a pleasing effect to the picture, I feel this image would be appropriate for my Billboard's main background image.

I took this image from the doorway of the ruins looking out across the surrounding countryside of Cornwall, I feel this is an accurate representation of Cornish scenery. I think this picture would be best placed on my website at some stage.

I took this photograph as the sun was setting over the town of Roche, I tried to capture the church tower rising from between two boulders strewn on the side of the ruins.

Here I tried the same concept as the above image, but instead i tried to capture the sun shining through the two boulders, I am rather pleased with how this one turned out, I may again use this in my website.

I took this image once the sun had nearly set, I tried including the moon as a main feature of the image, however it did not appear as prominent as I had hoped.

This was a less characteristic image than I would have hoped, you can only just make out that this is Roche Rock.












I took this image while leaving the ruins, I'm not exactly sure why I found the subject interesting, but the lighting gave off a better effect than I had hoped.

The light shining from behind Roche Rock in this image seems to have obscured much of the colour from the ruins themselves, this was certainly not what I was aiming for.

This image was very similar to one of those above, although it was taken from a slightly different angle. like before I am pleased by the colour pallet displayed.

This image appeared to be a little 'washed out', I wasn't a fan of the composition of this photo.

Same as above, this photo seems washed out, the clear blue sky really didn't show in this one.

I was more pleased with this image, I managed to get into an angle where the colours were not obscured by the high levels of light on the day, I particularly like the way the sunlight hits the window arch at the top of the ruins.

This is another image taken from the threshold of the ruins, Like before however the colours outside seem to be washed out. I may still use this image for my website.

When taking this photo I thought the window space looked like a shining figure, like a ghost almost. I would certainly use this image somewhere in my magazine.

This image came out slightly brighter than before, although I am still pleased with the eerie feeling it gives off.

I wasn't very happy with the composition of this shot, it seemed far too 'head on'. However I was happy with the bright colour pallet and idealistic connotations promoted by the image.

I was much happier with the composition of this shot. I feel as if I should use this photo for the background image of my contents page.

Although I do like this image, I feels the previous shot shows off more depth and a sense of looking up at something grander. I feel like this belittles the ruins slightly.

I was happy with the contrast between man-made elements and natural countryside here. this image shows off the isolation of living in amongst the Cornish countryside. I would be inclined to use this image in my magazine.

This image limits the view of the countryside, I do not like it as much as the one above because of this.

I took this image while the sun was setting, however I obscured the sun by taking the image behind the rocks. I did this to capture the gradient of different colours in the distance

Although I'm pleased with this image it seems a bit misty when looking at the church, I may feature images like this on my website in a smaller format.

This image turned out to be very colourful, however it is rather uncharacteristic like the rest of the shots I have taken from this angle.

Like with the photo above, i captured the shrubs in the foreground, this meant that the flash from my camera reflected off of them causing more prominence. I will not use these photos.
