second lot of photos

Although oringinally our first idea was to have just the one photo of the teacher and her student, we decided to experiment on getting an action photo aswell to put in on this page

When shooting our previous photos, at the same time we got some action photos of them playing a game of table tennis.

This is the first photo that we thought we would try. We tried one of just him on his own playing in a game of table tennis. Although it looks authentic and you can easily tell that he is playing in a sports hall, we wernt compeltly happy with this photo.

This is another one we took of Phil in action playing table tennis. Again for the same reasons we wernt happy with this photo either. Also his face is quite blurred and you cant really see his table tennis paddle which is one of the main things that we wanted to see.

We then changed the angle of Phil to see if this would be any better. We prefered this angle a lot more than we did in the ones above but there is still a few problems with this photo. The teacher is half cut out of the photo which doesnt look good, if we were to crop her out of it then phil would look like he was playing on his own which woulnt look right and not what we wanted. Also there is a bit to much backgrounf of the sports hall on the right which we wernt happy with.

This is another photo we took in this angle, again there are still some problems with it. Firstly Phils hand is covering his face which doesnt look very perfesional and would not look good in a newspaper, especially him being one of the main people in the story. Another problem, which is the same problem we had in the photo above. This is that the teacher is still half cut out of the photo when idealy we would like to have her playing/training with him.

In this photo the teacher is a bit more in the picture but still a bit cut out. The angle of phil is good except that he seems just a bit to far away and distant. There is a good view of the table tennis table but the colour of the photo is a bit dull and bland and looks abit dark.

After all of this consideration and adjusting we were able to take the photo that we wanted to put on this page;

We thought this was the best photo that we had took as of many reasons. The teacher was well framed in the photo so you could get a clear view of her and phil training/playing table tennis. Also the lighting in the picture is a lot brighter than previouse ones so it doesnt look so dull and dark. Phil isnt to far away and you can clearly see his paddle and the ball flying through the air. With the back ground of this photo you can tell that they are playing in some sort of sports hall which makes it look profesional. Also from the teachers position you can tell that she is throwing the ball for phil to hit and that he has his bat ready to hit the ball. We thought this was good as from a glance of the photo you can clearly see what they are doing.
