Work Diary - Shoot 4

Evaluation

This lesson I went out around campus and set myself the task of looking for colourful flowers/leaves that I could hold up against the sky, as it was white today and would therefore contrast any bright petals. I also decided to look at evidence of other things aswell to broaden the sub topics in my project because I didn't want to excel this theme of sky and flowers as I felt it would become too repetitive.  Examples of the sub topics was evidence of litter and evidence of knowledge/education. I decided to do this because the weather wasn't looking too positive and I didn't want to centralise my shoot around just natural living things out doors. I thought that today was a successful day for shooting, however I always find it a struggle to take attractive photographs when the weather is always so miserable. This encourages me to perhaps think of a studio shoot that I could do during class time one time. 

This was my favourite picture I captured from today's shoot. I believe that it is a successful picture making progress from last lesson evident. I wanted to look at different coloured flowers against a white or another blue sky. The red flower definitely contrasts more effectively with the white sky instead of perhaps a blue sky. I also took another one of these with green petals and I feel that it compliments my assortment of this style of photograph.

This picture was also another one of my favourites from the shoot. I admire how this image is an example of depth which is something that I learnt in Unit 1. It definitely makes this photograph more effective. I believe that it's a successful example of evidence of a library or evidence or knowledge. My intention with this picture was definitely to demonstrate an evidence of intellect as a library is a common place for intelligent and determined, open minded people. 

Progression

In order to push myself to achieve more successful photographs, I would like to excel my idea of looking at evidence of weather, however it is winter and only slow approaching spring, therefore making this idea a struggle. For now, I'd like to explore into my project further by looking at different photographs making something else evident. I want to attempt a photomontage piece similar to the picture that I've inserted below because I feel this is an extremely creative technique when admiring photographs. It can also enhance a topic completely as the main subject of the picture is enlarged to focus more of the viewer's attention on it. I came up with the idea of shooting this style of picture because it is of a book, which the library image encouraged me to look at. 

This photograph is also a style that I'd like to attempt soon.
