For this first photo I went out withthe hope of finding a nice landscape with something to overhang and possible leading lines. On my way toleave the shoot I saw this path and itmade a nice photo, adding some filtersshould really bring out the unique colours in the photo. I thought that Icould use this photo for the front coverof the magazine, as it uses a lot of different photography techniques.

For this photo I saw good composition with how the lines traveled through the image, and that the trees fill it up, not leaving a lot of space in the photo empty. In the magazine I would use this photo as an example of leading lines on the double page spread.

On location I could see the light shining through the clouds over houses in the distance, so going through different apertures and shutter speeds I took a range of photos and this is the one I chose, only being able to see a glow coming down and the light on the top of the clouds. In my magazine I would use this photo on the double page spread, I could use it to show that making the shutter higher and the aperture a little higher can change how an image looks, giving a completely different look.Shutter Speed: 1/320 sec

On location I had a view of a wide arrange of landscapes from the height I was at, this is one of the other sides on location. I like this photo because you can see the light shining down onto the hills below, there’s some foreground interest along with background interest and I think the exposure is good for the photo. If I put this photo in my magazine I think I would use it on a single page, explaining about that photo and how it could be improved though editing, along with how to edit it.

This photo is more of a wide shot, it captures the differences in lighting, with the light shining through the clouds on the left side then darkness on the right side. The picture layers with the plants coming up from the bottom at the very front, the hill behind going down from right to left, followed by the trees bunched together leading to the background of the hills and wide landscape. In my magazine I would use this photo on a single page, talking about the composition of the photo.

This photo I like because it has a main foreground interest the it has the tree behind it filling up the right side of the photo, then on he left side the hills are the other interest. If I put this in editing I think I could bring out the reds and some of the greens out nicely. This photo I would put on a double page spread of my magazine, talking about the photo and how it could be improved through editing.

On shoot this is one of my favorite photos as I feel it is the most appealing of them all, it has the fence going across the image, the red berry bush on the right side coming into the photo, the trees filling the middle of the photo along with some houses, the sun shining down in the distance and finally with the hills in the far background brining the photo together. I would put this photo on a double page, talking about the composition of the photo, and how as a photo it works better than others on the page.

Although not the most appealing photo I have taken for this shoot I like this photo for the cloud formation and how the blue in the sky starts to slowly come into show the more the photo to the left is, and how the light is shining down on the bushes to a certain point then you can see shadow. It has a leading line following the hill from one side to another and the foreground has the thistle coming up at a vertical angle to add to the photo itself. I would use this photo a single page, talking about the constant line going down the page, and how it goes from light to dark throughout the photo.

On a separate shoot I found this pond and I thought straight away that capturing this part of nature from the right angle can make a really good photo. With the tree filling up the right side of the image, it also starts to lean over to the centre of the photo. The pond itself fills up a nice portion of the centre image, still leaving the sides enough to allow the grass to also have some intake. The tree line at the back fits well in the photo as it’s along the horizon. I would use this photo on a double page talking about how the photo could be improved and also how it works as a photo.

As my final image this I like this photo because of the face the grass in the foreground isn’t plain and empty, it has tufts of brown grass growing on a hill which has a leading line going down diagonally along with this it has the tree in in the middle ground put to the right side of the photo when taken to go for the rule of thirds focus point. In the background of the image the forest below fills up most of the photo then leads to the clouded sky, as a photo I think it looks nice as it is filled and isn’t too overwhelming. I would put this on a single page of my magazine, to talk about the composition of the photo and how editing can help improve the photo overall.
