Just received assinment 1 from Cheryl - I am TERRIFIED!!! This is WAY outside my comfort zone, I hardly EVER us manual mode for taking photos, the time I DID it was a DISASTER!!!
However, I am ready for the challenge, and it certainly going to slow me down when taking photos.
MY chosen theme is urban life......quite a diverse theme I know, but I was going to choose flora and fauna, but any flowers that are still around are starting to look a little bit sad now, not that they looked that good in the summer, with all the rain we had!!! :)
I have just had a quick look around images using yahoo search engine, and I have found a few inspirational shots.....
No 1 - taken from tanakawho's flickr album, I have always wanted to take a photo like this, but it has never worked out for me. However, I have to go to Liverpool if I want to take photos like this, as the buildings in Chester aren't big enough....
No 2 - taken from andreas Reinhold's Flickr album, this album has a lot of stunning photos in it, and if you get time I would go and take a look. This photo is so simple, yet complex at the same time, the different colours and shapes are all wonderful, I would like to take a photo similar to this, but I am not holding out much hope :)
No3 was taken from the internet, and was't assigned to anybody. Again, this photo is so simple, but to get the same effect would be quite difficult, to get the one red tulip in focus, whilst all the yellow tulips are not.
I am going to finish here, and reflect on what I intend to achieve from the Masterclass, and hope that I manage to do so.....
See you soon
