Re-shoots and further developing ideas

Further to my concerns about some of the shots for Assignment 2 'ticking the boxes' rather than reflecting the intention of the shot, though with the aims of the brief fulfilled, I have been re-shooting some of the shots and doing some other ones which I think are moving more towards the theme for the Major Project.

Spent a lot of time thinking about this idea of 'the periphery' and how it can be interpreted. I realised that one theme that was coming out was that of intruding into the background or things looking over barriers or divisions: things such as control towers or radar equipment protruding from behind hedges or woods near the airport; moterway signs forming a backdrop for playing fields; tower-blocks behind common green areas etc.

Just waiting for the films to come back from processing to see what the results are like. Included a fair number of long exposures in low light, so may be a bit hit or miss. This is a n area I am hoping to improve my skills at. Had some success shooting that way using didgital, but it is trickier with film due to reciprosity failure nad no immediate feedback of the results.
