Contact Sheets II

With my first contact sheets I could get some good shots, however, I have decided to go down to London once more and take more pictures. This time I felt more comfortable and confident with the process. My first contact sheets are made with a 50mm that according to Gea (2016), the Portuguese Street Photographer Rui Palha, consider to be the maximum lens that a photographer doing Street Photography should use. This time I have decide to explore other lens and I have used a 24mm lens mostly used for capturing wide scenarios such as skylines or nature. The results are good and sharp, giving to the pictures a good depth of field. I was able to capture multiple subjects in one picture due to wide lens, 24mm. I have used both lens because both are good to use in a place with not much light such as the underground.  

Please see below my contacts sheets and some of the pictures that I will be using in my final project, "Underground Immersive" with the settings that I have used.

Very happy with the outcome of this contact sheets. I will definitely add some of these pictures into my final project. I have good examples of proximity with the subject, this can be seen on the first picture. A good composition by capturing multiple subjects in just one picture, second picture, and last but not least a long exposure with a train and the subject aligned on the rule of thirds. A good example of the work that I have been developing the last few weeks.
