Here are all the edits that I'm choosing my final piece from.

All these photos were taken at a garden centre near my school.

In these photos I used color selection/splurge and on one of my photos that is the silver ball ball i used the burn and dodge tool to remove myself from the image as that ball ball is mirrored.

These photos were all taken at a garden centre near my school.

In this photography course I have learned how to edit photos will some level of skill and have also learned that I'm a natural with a camera (not my words I'm not that vain). I now know what ISO and Aperture is, what they are used for and now have some understanding on how to use them to develop my images.

I've enjoyed going out and taking all these photos, even tho i thought i wouldn't.

But I haven't enjoyed the editing part of the photos as I wasn't very good at it to begin with and I'm still not really but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

For my final piece i decided that i wanted to have pictures of nature, but i didn't know what part of nature i wanted to take pictures of so i went out around my college and started taking pictures. All the images i took are above this paragraph. From these photos i figured out that i wanted to take pictures of brightly colored flowers.

Pictures of nature – I like the way you have focused into a main object and blurred out the rest of the image. You have also caught the sunlight very well in some pictures.

Multi Sports Evening – I like how you have caught people having conversations. The picture of the champagne and the faded room of people is my favourite because it emphasises how people are having a good time.

I really like the pictures of the nature, you did good job doing the close ups and had a good focus on the plants, I especially like the picture of the mushroom that looks like it was melting. To improve you could play bit more with the ISO and F-stop. – Jan Palusinki

Within the extreme close up shots of the plants the bokeh is effectively showing depth of field. Added to this the lens flare gives another element to think about. Some of the images that are showing close up objects are slightly under exposed and therefore not entirely clear or eye catching if simply flicking through the images.

1-  I have learned that most of my photos are that with the blur sometimes the blur creeps on to areas of an image I don’t want them too.

2- The feedback that I gained was only a little useful if I honest, from the feedback I don’t really understand how I need to improve.

3- From the feedback I have learned that people think that I’m very good at taking close up shots and nature.

4- This will help my planning as I understand that I do the best I can when I’m taking close up shots with only part of the image in focus.

5-  I need to work on the blur overtake.

These photos were all for the multi sports centre opening at my school. I've included them onto this page as I have been told i can use these images as trial photos. These photos include AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and the former mayor of Bournemouth Ted Taylor.

For this eye i had to follow a tutorial that was given to the class to help develop our photoshop skills. 

These photos were taken at the beginning of the photography course in order to help me gain more of an understanding in how to use the camera.

The picture on the left was taken by me in a  garden centre near my collage. In the photo the colors of the flower clearly stand out from the background especially the red against the black and white background. For this photo to get to the stage it is at now I have to take multiple photos of the flower as the ones before didn’t live up to my standards, so I kept snapping away until I got the photo I was looking for. After I had taken the photo I then had to edit it, I did this by going on photoshop and simply making the background black and white. To do this I had to learn how to use photoshop as I had never really used it before.

The photo in the right was taken by a professional photographer called Patrick Zephyr. The photo consists of brightly colored tulips and a bright clear blue sky in Massachusetts. I chose to compare this photo with mine because the colors are similar and both images contain flowers. 

While taking these photos i realised that taking good photos, is a lot harder than i thought. but while taking them i experimented with different ISO's, F-stops and distances when taking photos.

I learned that when taking photos of natural things around me that it is better to take them close up for a more impactive image that stands out more.

I also learned how to do basic edits on my photos. i had never used photoshop before but after a little help from both my teacher and friend, I managed to edit my photos with some level of skill and effectiveness.
