Study Leave Task

During study leave for Year 12 exams, we were given a simple task to get 5 photos or so of anything. This was a chance to explore different ideas and independence, and confidence with photo taking and idea expanding.

These first few photos were taken at a BBQ, the closeness of Molly face adds emphasis to the image.
Here the shoulder is the section in focus of the photo, it initially draws attention to it but leads to the blurriness of the people besides the BBQ and food.

This photo for me adds character and personality, with the man's expression on his face from eating a hot piece of black pudding or meat.

These next few were taken at Highcliffe Castle, despite the weather being quite wet and grey, I tried to capture images which highlighted the area at its best.

I particularly like the focus on the wasp and closeness to the flower and rain drops.

This image reminds me of the photographer UTA BARTH; with there being a majority of the photo out of focus. In this one I like the colours highlighted from the budded petals but also the sneaky lady bird hiding beneath the buds.

This tree caught my eye as I was wandering through the forest, if you look closely on the tree there is a small figure of a face. I found this most intriguing.

When I first arrived at the Castle; a young man was playing the piano rather nice and elegantly. Here is an image to show him behind the glass windows at the piano. I feel the emptiness of the castle surrounding's highlights him in the background.

This was my initial photo of the Castle itself.
