Winter Photography In The Park - Thursday 4th & 5th Of November

On the 4th of November, Me and the Diploma Crew took a visit to Myatts Field Park, we were set a task in which we had to use  5.0 - 8.0 mega pixel cameras to take professionally-looking photographs using the frame through frame technique, distances and using the nature as a prop. Today I took quite a lot of good photo's, I used nature lighting from sunlight and the shading of a tree for one photo which really came out fascinating, it created a rebounding affect where it looked as if it was telling a message to say, "where there is darkness, there will always be light!". In another photo I used the square pattern in a gate/fence to show how there is a multiply of dimensions happening in one picture and how everything else in the background is blurred out and that the square pattern is the main focus. I also used a female model to show how humankind reacts against nature regarding the distances. I learnt quite a lot today, If you find every picture to be typical, think outside the box, not in it!

I didn't find it so difficult this time using the flash camera's for the first time properly in the outside world, really helped me catch up on my photography skills :D !

On the 5th of November, we then providing the photograph evidence from yesterday used our best top ten to edit them and planned to use them as Christmas Cards for the primary school children whom are due to come  and watch our performance on the 17th Of December. We may even use them to create a calender regarding on expenses and money limits. I only managed to finish off about 3 today, but they still came out quite good.

Here are some examples of the work I have produced:

* copy and paste pictures 1, 2 and 3*

I am quite proud of myself through out these last 2 days and what I have achieved, although I find that my difficulty in editing using the software 'picnik' would probably have to be that I cannot find the right colours, blends or editing options for the two specific seasons: winter and autumn. I can't really tell the difference! I was told that winter colours are more based on blue and white, and that Autumn colours are more based on greens and oranges! Next lesson when we are editing, I will try my best to alter these changes.

Thank you.
