After showing my triptych in class, I decided that I wanted to try photographing my images again in order to correct the faults that I highlighted in my last post.  Therefore, I set the camera and backdrop up in the same position that I had previously used (I used a grey zip-up hoodie and draped it over my desk chair beside my window).  I then took the desired three images.  I found it surprisingly difficult trying to match the focus in all three images, as I couldn’t get close enough to the chair if I used a tripod, so I was relying solely on having a steady hand (which I don’t have).

Additionally, I found that I still encountered the same problem of the third image being too zoomed out.  This was because, originally, my intention in the three images was to also show the cranes growing in size.  Because of this, I made them in three different sizes – with the yellow being the biggest.  Therefore, I had to zoom/crop the first two images to fill the same amount of space that the final image takes up in the frame – making the third image seem more zoomed out.

I came to the conclusion that the only way to amend this would be to remake the cranes, but seeing as I made them out of scraps of paper that I’d found by the water, it would be unlikely that I’d be able to find the exact leaflets/labels as before, and I really liked the contrast between the bright pink and yellow, so I didn’t really want to change them.

This was my (slightly) amended image, where I tried to make sure that the focus was the same in all three photos:
