Pictures for my Magazine

So, following my pirate musical idea, when I was in London a few days ago, I visited the 'living museum' the 'GOLDEN HINDE'. Which is a reconstruction of a pirate ship. It's along the Thames, near London Bridge and was actually quite good! I took loads of pictures as I guided myself around with the view of super-imposing people onto the pictures at a later date. (These people dressed as pirates of course.) So here are a selection of a few of the pictures I've taken , obviously not all will be used, some are just more throwing about ideas and getting into the theme and frame of mind for writing the synopsis.

As you can see, there were a lot of ropes, barrels, cannons, lanterns and touch wood, everything was wood...I thought it was a good reconstruction as it had lots of detail and I know I'm no expert, but it seemed quite accurate.






Here is and image of the postcard I brought of a painting of the boat at sea! (I did also buy a pirate flag which I will use in my pictures).




So a few pictures in detail of how I intend to use them...
















In this one I want to have a pirates(s) on or leaning onto the barrel, it will be a long shot and I will experiment with angles i.e whether they will be looking up (maybe with a telescope) or looking straight at the camera.

I took this panorama with the view of having it as a 'cast' photo. Captain sitting in the chair, others dotted around. This will be a bit of a challenge, but I shall experiment. I'm going to have to edit the lighting in this particular picture though because it's too bright.

Providing cutting out the offices in the background doesn't drive me to insanity, I want to impose the captain/lead part into this picture, if I am clever enough, with one hand on the wheel.

One final idea, not to be including any of the pictures gained from yesterday, I will take/use a few picture showing the actual musical and action. So either on a stage, or in a dance studio to show rehearsals. I also want to include pictures showing other aspects of the theatre production i.e lighting, sound, composition and advertisement.

Obviously there were numerous risks in taking these pictures on this location, as there is everywhere. So I had to be sensible and cautious of my surroundings and others that were on the boat at the same time.
