The BLOGGER Site!

Once your blogger site has been set up you need to begin making entries onto it, including the following;

1. Introduction

2. 1-4 shots from tasks set...

• Light Task: Create an image at several times of the day, the image must be of the same object, building etc..one in the morning, one around midday, one late afternoon and one at night.
• Aperture Control Task: Four images, one showing a fast shutter speed, one showing a slow shutter speed, one showing narrow depth of field and one showing wide depth of field.
• Composition Task: Present one image for each element of composition (i.e. lines, texture, colour, rule of thirds etc...)

Evaluate how well you have done, reflect back on what went well, or badly, and how you would improve if you were to reshoot. Also include full range of kit used and how well your selection suited your subject.

3. Intro to assignment

4. Initial ideas

5. Research:Research of the photographers in your chosen area! Use images that you like and inspire you and compare and contrast your own work to your research.
