Targets
Keep up with set tasks. You should be doing two hours a week for Photography. Even if there is nothing specifically set you could make sure your weebly is up to date.
Persevere in order to achieve the best possible photograph. Really scrutinise them through your annotation- if they fall short of expectations and make the improvements you identify.
Take more images for each task.

LOOK UP! (homework )
In task the i need to take 20-30 photos of buildings responding to the theme of 'look up' by taking photos of building from a low vantage point
Edits
WWW: the building are very interesting and the lighting and focus are very good in the task, for the edit i adjusted the levels and colours in the photos
EBI: to improve the images i should have embraced the look up theme more and had the camera at a sharper angle , also have a wider range of images

Reflection
In the task i took the an image i had taken, and on photo shop flipped the image four different times to create this reflection image
WWW:the lighting for ll the phots was good and all the photos were in good focus as i could have the shutter speed high as there was high light levels, i also think for the first reflection image, the use of flipping them creates a very intresting image
EBI: i could do 2 more reflection edits to create more images
EBI: i could do 2 more reflection edits to create more images
Composition
in this task we focused on rule of thirds, composition, triangles and balancing elements this helps the photos have more interest in the images by placing objects of interest were the lines cross which draws attention to them also the triangles draw your eye across the image, balancing elements make the image for aesthetically pleasing. overall using these techniques improves all of your photos and general skill of photography.
WWW: in the set of images, i attempted to take different photos including different composition elements including :rule of thirds, balancing elements, triangles and layer, the lighting and focus in the images were good and took lots of the different types of composition
EBI: to improve i should take more variety of images and more triangle photos
EBI: to improve i should take more variety of images and more triangle photos
Composition 2
composition 2
WWW:In the second set of composition photos i was also taking pictures focusing on balancing elements, triangles, layers and rule of thirds i
EBI: for some sets i could've had more of a focal point for some of the images, for example the rule of thirds have a point of more interest for where the lines cross
EBI: for some sets i could've had more of a focal point for some of the images, for example the rule of thirds have a point of more interest for where the lines cross
Rule of thirds
Rule of thirds are when you place points of interest on lines, especially where the cross as this is where the eye is drawn and it makes the picture more aesthetically pleasing.
WWW:i thnk that all the photos were well exposed and were in good focus
EBI: to improve for where the focal point is positioned where the lines cross i could've had a focal point of more interest positioned there, however this was difficult as t was a limited environment.

TRIANGLES
Triangles in photography lead the eye in the shape of the photo to a point of interest and can bring more attention to certain parts of the image.
WWW: i took some good examples of triangles and in some of the photos the lighting was good
EBI. improve the exposure in some of the images and take more examples of triangles in photography
EBI. improve the exposure in some of the images and take more examples of triangles in photography
Layers
Layers can add depth to the image, making viewers of the image notice more complex themes within the images and leading the eye to different parts of the photo.
WWW: i took good examples of layers, the lighting focus, and i think the layers were well composed
EBI: i could have got more complexity in some of the layers and put some things in and out of focus.
EBI: i could have got more complexity in some of the layers and put some things in and out of focus.
balancing elements
Balancing elements can equal images out making it more pleasing for viewers this can be done with 2 different points of interest at different depths of on different sides of the photo
WWW: good lighting and the photos were all in focus.
EBI: to improve have a more interesting subject in the image.
EBI: to improve have a more interesting subject in the image.
composition homework
In this task we were asked to take 20 images in total of the four composition types, rule of thirds,triangles,balancing and layers.
these 4 elements help to make your photos not only looking more aesthetically pleasing but make the hpto have more depth and interest.
these 4 elements help to make your photos not only looking more aesthetically pleasing but make the hpto have more depth and interest.
WWW: in the task i think that my rule of third photos (the first few) are a good photos with good exposure and lighting, i also think that my balancing photos were good as the objects that were balancing were considered and in a good position.
EBI; to improve i should get more photos that display triangles and layers as these are hard to achieve i should put more focus into those.

Framing
In this task the challenging was to take photos using the reflection of mirrors, it was complex but interesting as you had to balance the focus of the image, and the image within the mirror.
Best edits
WWW: i think that it in this task we captured lots of different variations of reflection images, i think not only the content within the images but i also think that the exposure of the images and that in some images the mirror is in focus and the background out of focus and in others the opposite is shown. i also think the edits are good as the black and white works very well with the sky and grey and created a different image all together. i also think the edit with the sky and sand in the background really accentuate's the sky and makes it look that it is not reflecting the earths sky but a different planets sky.
EBI: to improve some of the exposure is over exposed creating blur or the image being overly bright

Formal elements
Formal elements are the language of picture making and are the fundamentals of photography,there are traditionally seven but are sometimes extended for photography to do more.formal elements which are essential when composing photo, the 7 examples are line,tone, texture, color pattern contrast and form, all of these are important for composing a photo
In this task i took 3 photos of each formal elements, to take these images i walked along a few streets taking pictures of plants buildings and other objects.

WWW: in this set of photos i did find examples of all seven formal elements, in some images they had more than one formal element, this is because some of the formal elements are more common than others and overlap.
EBI: the formal element that i found hardest was form as i think the subject in this is extremely important and i could not find any very good form examples

Decay
In decay we focused on objects that were in decaying and been abounded, it is was interesting as these objects that had once been used often had been left to waste away.
WWW; i took a lot of photos and they were in good lighting and showed the decay in the area we were taking photos.In the edits i made 2 pictures black and white which helped with the decay effect.
EBI: some photos were under exposed and we could have got more variation in some of the images.to show decay.

Independent development work
For my independent development work i chose to take images inspired by Simon Gardiner. He creates surreal, abstract and very bleak images with his use of black and white mixed with the strong urban structures, i think he wants us to think about another insight into are cities and the dark parts of some are of cities. I don't think he wants us to think a big political picture but just wants us to have another view into are cites through different perspective and lighting . He also conveys this view through the actual subject of the photos using hard city skylines with strong building materials and imposing sky scrapers in this task i was required to take photos inspired by mirroring photos by simon gardiner which are mostly photos of skylines and then using Photoshop to create a mirror effect.My intention was to respond to these mirror images because i wanted to explore this task more as it was very interesting the first time i did it and see what changes i could come up with myself.
Include images by Gardiner
First set
WWW: i couldn't go to central on the weekend so i went to ally pally to take a photo of the sky line, the images were good but could have some improvement. for the edit i did mirroring and then turned them black and white with a yellow filter. i like it as it was quite a grey day which emphasises the bleakness of the image
EBI: to improve get up closer with the subject of the photo and get the focus of some of the images better
EBI: to improve get up closer with the subject of the photo and get the focus of some of the images better
Independent work development
In the second set inspired by Simon Gardiner i took photos in Camden in the evening, to develop the idea i wanted to get closer to the subject i was taking photos of. I took them at night, which makes the lighting interesting and different photos which can make the mirroring photos more interesting
WWW: for the edit the lighting was good for both photos and the focus, i like the colours in the photo and sky
EBI: to improve i should work on blending the 2 images together to create a more subtle effect
EBI: to improve i should work on blending the 2 images together to create a more subtle effect
Independent work development
in the third set i took photos of the lodond sky line from tate modern i response to simon gardiner
WWW: the lighting is very good i also like the sky in the picture and how big it is and the clouds within it. I think the edit is good as the images are well blended
EBI:straighten the images out a bit more, do another edit
EBI:straighten the images out a bit more, do another edit
Final Project
In my final project i have taken photos of Londons skyline, specifically in central London focusing on the tall glass buildings which reflect different parts of the city well. for the edit i am going to mirror the photos on to each other utilising the reflections and creating a surreal image.for the edit i am going to use the picture of the skyline and select individual buildings within the picture and then copying and pasting them within the image to create a confusing and interesting picture
WWW: In this task i was requied to take more pictures of London skyline the subject i choose to photograph suited the theme because the glass tall buildings created a surreal image. I had a good shutter speed so it was a crisp images.
EBI:i could have been closer up to some of the buildings to make the edit more effective, it was also a dark day os it was difficult to mange the lighting.
