Walk One.

Walk One.

In this session, we all took a walk out through the public areas, taking nature photos but also anything that resembles life. In this session, I really did not enjoy having to take these photos, this was because I was confused on what would make a perfect picture of nature but also because I seemed to always take photos with people in the way. If I could improve and go out again to take these photo's, I would choose to time my photo capturing properly, so I avoid capturing people in it. 

My two selected photographs:

In this photograph, we can see the positioning of three different sized leafs. The lighting is also shown to fall through, to create them too look extremely light against the darkness of the other smaller leaves around them in the distance. The positive point of this photograph is that by having the light falling down onto the selected leaves, the others become more distant looking. This is a positive factor because it creates the photo to have a subtle depth of field but also draw in the attention of the audience. The negative point of this photo, is in the right hand corner of the bottom leaf, there is shown to be a small amount of pure light filtered through to the camera lens,  this is a negative factor because it becomes a distraction for the photograph. An improvement I would like to make to this photo, would be too crop the bottom half of the leaf out, so the light is removed. 

In this photograph, we can see a macro shot of a small daisy against blades of grass. There is shown to be a strong contrast between the whiteness of the petals against the dullness and darkness of the blades of grass. The positive point of this photo is the petals of the daisy stand out clearly against the grass blades, this is a positive factor because it draws in the attention for the right reasons but also creates a story about 'purity'. The negative point of this photo is the blade of grass that rests against the petals, this is a negative factor because the audience can then become distracted from the main focus of the actual photo. An improvement I would make is to either retake this photograph, or try and carefully clone the blade out of view.

Further improvement:
For my further improvement, I would like to use the improved photo of the daisy, before creating waterdrops to fall off of most of the petals. This can then be placed under my computer experiments.
