Well, I have to say so far I have been less than inspired by the first 2 homework assignments. They have both been reports, one about batteries and data storage and the other about researching the different types of camera’s avaliable. I received my first report back from marking last night, I got marks ranging from 2-4 on the various sections. The City & Guilds marking system is 0,1,2,3,4 (0 being the lowest mark available). I was pretty pleased to get some 4 marks in there!! I have not started the second report yet as I have no steam for it at the moment – It needs to be handed in next week so I guess I had better start it soon
Anyway, the reason I entitled this post as first homework is because we got given our first homework which actually involves ‘taking photographs’ WOW its only taken 4 weeks wooooo hoooooo!! So now I have to think of ‘something’ to photograph….this is where my self criticism really kicks in….and my overwhelming excitement about getting a good picture gets the adrenaline going…
The assignment is on composition…so we have to take 3 photographs of the same object thinking about perfect composition….so now I just need to think of something to take a photograph of…being as my house and garden are a building site there is no inspiration here…so I think I will head outdoors..maybe Hatfield Forest over the weekend…that could work and the children love getting their wellies on and running around in the mud! So watch this space for my pics
