week 23 & 24

Ideas from tutorial on 2nd March
- Point and shoot photography - not thinking about what is being photographed
- Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique." Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life.


A selection of images from the last 2 weeks:



An example of 'snapshot' images which I prefer from the other imaages I've taken.




Some of my images I like because of the colour and composition, but dont find them striking enough as they are.



Example of photgraphs taken on streets. I like the colours and buildings I photographed but am not happy with the final images, I think for street photography to work I'd need to spend alot more time and get more comfortable taking pictures on the street to get pictures which are really 'in the moment'







Landscape photography, sometimes seems easier for me to do but isnt a form of photography I'd like to pursue.



Pictures of people, but natural shots of people with eachother. Not that they're unaware of the camera but not posing to have their picture taken.

Although I proposed to take pictures without a plan, I found myself thinking more about the photos I was taking so I want to try to forget about what my final images will look like and just be taking photos without considerig the composition and focu too much.
