Nature walk 2 work diary

When I went out on my second nature walk with my photography class. We decided to go a different route and this was so that we get totally different photographs from our last walk. Because I had been out and taken photographs from my my last walk this time I had more of an idea what to take and how to take them. The weather on this walk was much colder and it had rained the night before thereofore there was alot of puddles. Even though the weather wasnt very nice this allowed me to take reflection photographs in the puddles and show how autumn was fading out and how winter was coming and how it affects nature. I took a lot of photographs again on this walk. My two faveroite photographs were:

The first photograph was my bird photograph which appears in my top twenty and portfolio. This photograph was of the birds flying in motion. This was very affective because it looked as if the birds were flying towards the reciever. This photograph involved the sky and the clouds which created the photograph to look very beautiful. The birds were silouhetts and so was the top of the house and tree's. This made them stand out as well as using the formal element of shape. This is one of my favrouite photographs I have taken. How ever if I could improve this photograph I could of made the photograph brighter and cropped the photograph to show less birds.

The second photograph im going to evaluate is my tree photographer. This has been captured when the sun was shining right on it. This makes the tree and its remaining leaves glow. This photograph shows the life cycle of a tree through how the leaves are all almost fallen off the tree. This hilights that this photograph was taken in the autumn season. I expecially like the colours in this photograph and how the deep blue sky is in the background. The layout of how the tree covers the whole photograph and the branches spiral out are very capitivating. How ever to improve this photograph I could of made the two sides even and taken more of the tree therefore not having it as close up as it is.

If I would go back and add to this shoot I would take more photographs using the formal element of reflection. Also I would take more photograph reflecting the cold weather.

Work Diary

When I went on the nature walk with my photography class the walk was for atleast 30 minutes. This allowed us to take loads of photographs so that we had a nice amount of photographs to select and edit to fit in to our portfolio and the compettion. The weather was dry and perfect to get some lovely photographs. This shoot we explored other surroundings instead of just the college. We went out to woods and mainly places where nature was. I managed to take a lot of photographs and learnt new techniques while on the walk. I also learnt how to make a simple thing like the sky look stunning
g with the angle I take the photograph. My two faveriote photographs were:

My leaves photograph that is in my portfolio and my top twenty. This photograph I expecially like because of the bright colours and the layout of the photographs. As well as the photograph being close up which makes detailes of the leaves stand out. Even though this photograph is under the nature walk. This photograph shows extremly well the formal element of lines. This is shown in the leaves. Overall I think that these colours create nature to be beautiful. To improve this photograph I could of blurred the background out more to just have the attention on the big leaves.

My second photograph is the photograph I took of the huge bushes that uses a variety of colours. These colours represent autumn very well as they are green,yellow and red's. This creates the photograph to look very unique and stand out from just plain green nature. The colours are all seperate from eachother and the gaps in the bushes which are dark create the formal element of depth. The layout of ths photograph is that the bushes cover the whole page. This photograph is very busy and shows natures beauty. To improve this photograph I could of enhanced the brightness and focused on a closer version of this photograph.

If I would go back and add to my nature walk I would take more photographs of flowers as my work mainly consisted of tree's and leaves.
