Evaluation

I thought my chosen task was quite difficult as i had taken most of my pictures when i was on holiday, The 3 main subjects were fireworks water reflections/sunset and wildlife. I didn't think i had planned it very well as i should only have had one main subject/brief to work off, but because i was on holiday and there were lots of things to photograph abroad so i found it hard to choose  between the three main subjects i had. After this i decided i liked all my photos i had chose and decided to merge them together, and because i was abroad traveling, i decided that to have all them related as a kind of journey topic, i thought that this would fit really well as most of my pictures are very different and in very different places, this shows that i have been on some sort of journey to get them, however i also have photos of people walking and driving with the sun set in the background which can also relate to my journey idea because they could also been on some sort of journey.

 I think that the planning didn't go very well at first because i didn't have an exact idea of how my pictures would all link, and at first i thought there would just be loads of random pictures every were with no meaning. I also had three different types of topics i liked and none of them were similar, so i wouldn't have a very strong idea of what my overall topic was, after realizing this i knew i needed a strong overall topic, so i thought of the time when i had taken the photos and looked at all of my images together until i could link them. After realizing that i were traveling different places to capture these photos i knew that i could link them all together as a journey i have been on.

When i came to the editing process i decided to keep all of my photos in colour, i did this because a lot of my photos were quite dull and boring so i thought if i make them all bright and happy they will link even more than i thought. Also i thought by keeping the images in colour it would make my main object stand out a lot if i increased the brightness. I thought my editing went very well and i liked the out come of my photos.

My strengths would probably be taking the photos of the animals as i think it is hard to capture animals as they move a lot which can make this picture blurry, I also thought capturing the fireworks were hard because i couldn't always capture the fireworks at the right time and sometimes only had little dots and little bits of smoke, it was also very hard because you don't always know were the fireworks are going to explode in the sky, and because on some of the photos i had zoomed in i didn't always manage to capture the pictures i wanted.

If i hadn't gone on holiday i would have chosen street photography and gone into town to take pictures, but because i was going on holiday while this task was given i thought going abroad would have given me a great opportunity to take some photos. I don' think i did very well on this task because i didn't think about a main idea, instead i had a couple which has made things a lot harder.

The overall idea of my pictures related to a journey, because i was on holiday, and a lot of my photos are in different places, i thought that this could go together by going different places to capture these images and traveling to different destinations. There are also some cars and people walking in my images, this can also relate to my journey idea, because when you are walking or driving you are traveling.
