Photography evaluation

Through the course, we have been asked to do practical work and written work. I have enjoyed the practical work through out the course , learning new things. The written work is were we had to speak about what we did during the practical lessons, explaining what we used and what we did.

We had to explain in great detail about our times in the studio or outside of college. Like what was used in the lessons such as a tripod , both in and outside of the studio, using a canon 5d/500d to take the images. We learned how to make images better by learning which locations were better. Depending on the time of day, the natural source of light outside could be used well.

In the studio we learned the right amount of light we had could be adjusted by using certain lights. I enjoyed being in the studio even though i think i could have joined in the activities a bit more like when we were in the studio using coloured torches to draw pictures in the air. I didn't really join in that much during this lesson but i did have a go at taking some of the images during that lesson.

At first, i wasn't sure how to explain some of the lessons when we had to write on the blog. But over time i learned that we had to explain as much about what we did both in and out of the studio to show that we had an understanding of what we were doing.

I went back and made some of the written work i did, better and more detailed than before like explaining what we used more and how we used them.

The images we took outside, we were either in pairs which i enjoyed  or a small group or the whole group would be taking photos of each other, depending what task was given, we would take pictures of things or places, learning which places would make for better images. Like if the place was crowded or if it was empty. Or which places were better for the sources of natural light or places we would need our own source of light.

I found the lesson we did outside near the church a a group a little hard as i didn't have much understanding of the equipment at the time or how to know how much light you needed or how to get the right amount. But during further lessons, i learned this.

I have enjoyed all the work done in photography and learning new things. There was a lot of skills i learned. I prefer photography than animation even though i do like animation but photography is something that i find captures something meaningful as well as pretty.

There is nothing outstanding that i thought i could have done better. Everything seemed to have gone well and i think i managed to keep track of the work and keep up to date with most of my work.
