In our lessons with Tom we have covered quite a few things, and even though I wasn't there for a few of them unfortunately. I did manage to catch up on most of it and learn from other peoples notes and my own research.
Firstly we covered street photography, I love doing this I just think I need to actually over come the anxiousness of taking a picture of someone and worrying they'll say something to me. I do think on our trips out I came up with a few images that I am really happy with, these are on my blog further down. I think to improve my street photography I need to also take alot more pictures, I have the habit of only taking a few shots that I know I'll be happy with, but I also get that I could also miss a good shot, so I'll try and take more pictures on future trips.
We also did light painting, although I wasn't there for when we did this in class, I read my friends notes and had a go myself at home and really loved the results of this, hence why I did it for my project over the half term. I learnt that it really helped to use a tripod to avoid camera shake, so now always use it when I'm doing light painting photos.
I also wasn't hear for fast shutter speeds either, but I did also look at my friends notes and I already understand how to change my shutter but doing lots of pictures at different shutter speeds got me to understand it better.
Lastly we did Macro photography, here I did my picture of my pocket watch which I loved. I really enjoy doing macro photography because I love how much detail you can get from such a small object. I used my macro lenses for the macro shots I did at home and also my fish eye macro lens with was really good for creating a weird yet effective effect on the photograph and helped pick up great detail.
Probably one of the things I've learned best in these lessons is how much a tripod can aid you so much in photography, and how much better and clearer photographs look, especially the painting with light photos.
