This time traveling up river and investigating two interesting points along the river, blood point and cut end. Photographs taken from being on the water in a boat and so have a much lower perspective compared to the previous images. Have to consider how/if this will be possible to shoot on a 5x4 tripod camera without sacrificing depth of field and image sharpness. The movement in the water opposed to the smoother longer exposure is another area which I will need to spend thought to create a consistency throughout my work. Repeating motifs and imagery are really important in producing a successful series of images.
Also visited the start of the Wantsum channel which at one time divided the isle of Thanet into an island, at parts a mile wide the river was once an important influence in the trade and travel between London and the English Channel. Allowing for barges to avoid the longer route around North Foreland (visit) and passed Margate the Wantsum provided safer travel.
The texture and color of the trees and reeds will be a continuing theme throughout the project and so the process and method of photographing it needs to reproduce these well. The more I make photographs surrounding the river I feel the project needs to follow a traditional process with black and white fine art prints and book as an end output.
