As part of the Photography module, we were tasked with making a motion graphic which was no more than 90 seconds. My motion graphic is not unique and could be replicated through minimal editing. The finished article wasn’t something that I would use for publication due to the roughness of it. It was a subject matter close to myself but unfortunately, due to the lack … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Motion Graphic

Camera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II Camera Lens: Canon 70- 200mm f2.8L IS II USM Lens These ended up being the four images that I uploaded to social media. I chose them as it’s a sequence of a story which is a key element of storytelling in photojournalism. It offers the photo editor the opportunity to choose which image he feels has a stronger lead. … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Taffs Well 0-3 Cambrian & Clydach Vale (11/02/2019)

Camera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II Camera Lens: Canon 70-200mm f4 Lens This is a shoot in which I ended up using no images for submission and didn’t share any for social media. I had positioned myself all wrong and with no available floodlights, I was forced to use a high ISO in the second half, which took away the quality. There were some candid … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Grange Albion 1-3 Cardiff Draconians (03/04/2019)

Camera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II Camera Lens: Canon 70- 200mm f2.8L IS II USM Lens This isn’t particularly a shoot I was happy with but I did achieve my goal of getting a candid shot. I will admit this was a happy mistake as I was testing out the camera and its setting. The background is completely blurred out and the composition is spot … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Ynyshir Albions 3-1 Merthyr Saints (09/05/2019

  Camera; Canon EOS 6D Lens: Canon 70-200mm f4 Lens This was quite a warm day in April, which meant my ISO didn’t necessarily have to be too high. I started off at around 250 and then when it began to get muskier, I would boost it up. This shoot I felt I obtained a reasonable amount of good images. There was an abstract image … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Cathays Conservatives 1-2 Fairwater (11/04/2019)

CAMERA: Canon EOS 6D Mark II Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens 📷 | Madison Schupbach scored twice for @CardiffMetWFC in the #FAWWomensCup Final as the Archers completed a domestic treble. #WPWL pic.twitter.com/e5pKa8acLO — Jordan A Jones (@JordsAlexJones) April 14, 2019 I positioned myself at either end for both forty five minutes halves. Using equipment I had got used to, I was content with … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Abergavenny Town 0-2 Cardiff Metropolitan – 14/04/2019

CAMERA: Canon EOS 6D Mark II Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens The weather wasn’t particularly light for this one. I made the mistake of shooting with the 85mm lens, due to believing the 70-200mm lens required a monopod. These lenses are instead intended for portraiture photography, whilst the longer lenses, along with extenders, mean you are able to capture sporting action close up. … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Ton Pentre 1-4 Pontypridd Town – 02/03/2019

Cam Army | The story behind the Rhondda’s leading club from Callum Ellis on Vimeo. Working in a group of four, alongside three of my second-year peers on the Sports Journalism course, we created a five minute documentary on a football club based in the Rhondda. In total, we visited the Cambrian ground for two shoots, one during a match against Penybont (30/03/2019) and Taffs … Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHY: Cam Army | The story behind the Rhondda’s leading club
