Photography!

One of my current classes for Visual Communications is Photography and we have been asked to choose a theme in which to expand on. Last year in Art & Design, I got quite into detail during the Location Photography unit and wanted to expand on it further, so for this project I'm hoping to delve back into detail, coupled with nature. It might sound boring, but nature is pretty much anything that isn't man made, which leaves the options wide open...I just need to think of the ideas.

Yesterday we had an exercise where we went down to the river as a class to take photos. This didn't go too well for me because I was completely uncomfortable using a bridge camera. Today was different however and with my own camera in hand, I did a much better job and came back with some pretty nice images. A few didn't really fit my theme but it was good practice regardless as I haven't had much opportunity since being back at college to do any photography.

A few of these were purposely set up. I did get a little bit messy, especially when pulling the berries from the tree (a few exploded on me *sob*) I did edit these in class but I feel that they are better now that I got a chance to work on them at home. I believe they have a more gloomy autumn feel now that I re-approached them.

This final image I liked because of the relation between the colour of the trees and the colour of the car. Usually green is an overpowering colour in photography, but I feel in this instance it almost sets the mood.
