Planning Process
We began to prepare our initial images by discussing the planning process. We did this by sharing and discussing ideas throughout my groups, that would be suitable for this task. We started by stating our themes, we decided we would use the contrasting themes of Nature and Automotive because I feel these two themes will provide a range of different pictures. We then thought of initial concepts and began to sketch them out to get a rough version of the image we wanted. We also labelled the pictures detailed which type of photo technique we would use e.g. wide angle, perspective, establishing. Once we had finished planning our images we actually went out to reproduce the pictures using our plans.
After deciding on our themes, we all decided to do 4 of our own images based on our themes. To help plan what shot we would do in each of our images, we did some sketches of what we would like to achieve. After sketching some images of what we would like to do, in a group we chose the best 4 from each person, making 12 in total.
Final Images
I was really happy with my images because I used most of the techniques available and used them successfully. I feel the images I produced were of good quality and showed off many camera techniques. From our images we included the aerial shot, the low angle shot, the high angled shot, the tilted shot, the establishing shot, the zoomed shot, the wide shot, the over the shoulder shot, and the long shot. Although most of my pictures were effective, a few were not as good as the others.
Rules of Photography
Trying to keep the the rules of photography proved quite successful because although it was tempting at times just to point and shoot, the rules helped provide a better standard of photography. I felt using the rules e.g. angles, composition, helped make the pictures appear more professional and more suitable for the task. Taking photos at an angle made gave them more personality rather than a bog standard flat image because they contain more character.

Feedback
We received numerous feedback after presenting our photos to the class. Most of the comments received were praising our efforts, however, we were made aware of our lack of depth of field shots. Overall, our photography task was liked.
What I Have Learnt
I feel this task has widened my photography knowledge. For example, I have learnt about the rules of photography, various photography techniques. Also I feel I have became more confident using a camera and hopefully this will improve my coursework.
