Work Diary

The first photograph i am evaluating is the leaves edit. This was photographed in a very good postion as you can see the deifferent size leafs and how they all open up and are structured. The colours are very clear. As well as the use of close up brings out the colours. To improve this photograph i could zoom out to get more of  a range of plants in the photograph to make it more intersting or take from a different angle to see what the colour looks from a different light.

The day that i went out to photograph my colour photos the weather was alot brighter so i could go to diffrent places to photograph objects and building to improve my shoot i would defiently take more photos.
