We went out and took some more photos today of the dome, and did some filming. Here are a few examples (below). We worked well as a group, i think, as we all have different ideas and shots which we think was good; it seems that as we all have ideas, we can shoot them all, and combine them, which allows for everyone to cooperate. This means we get a lot of ideas in, but also manage to make sure that everyone has a try.
 We took exterior pans of the dome, the pavilion gardens and the Indian gate. As our last shots were slightly shaky and weirdly exposed, this time we were much more careful to get smooth pans and well positioned and set up photographs. We have therefore learnt to be very careful with how we set up our shots. The shooting did go well, and we had enough tape space to make these.

 It was quite difficult to get the exposure right, as the day was overcast but bright, and it was difficult to get the D7000 to not over-expose the sky, or under-expose the ground. We tried light metering, but when filming, light metering control is minimal. We will have to see in post edit if this is a problem.  We also had a broken tripod, which meant the spirit level was uneven. However, it seemed like we got past these problems, from the photos below, we will have to see when we edit.

As a group, we worked well, with two of us concentrating on video, (one looking for location, the other filming) and with Louise concentrating on stills for graphic matches. This meant that we all had the chance to shoot. On the whole, it seems like it was a successful shoot.
