Photography Day Course- October 2012

I attended a day- long photography course through the company "go digital". It was mainly about aperture and focus points. I learnt so much that I never knew before and now use the skills I learnt in my photography which has improved it a lot. These are some of the pictures I took on the course.

Diane Arbus

DIANE ARBUS

 In my college essay I am looking at the photographer Diane Arbus. One of the pictures she is most famous for is this photo of Cathleen and Colleen Wade taken at a twins and triplets Christmas Party.

In my family there are identical twins called Kate and Danielle Wilson. I asked them to match the pose of Diane Arbus' photo of identical twins. I used a plain coloured background and flash to focus all the attention on the subjects like she did.

I also told the twin on the left not to smile as much as the one on the right to match expression of the faces on the twin's photo.

First Go At Wedding Photography

My Uncle Paul and now Auntie Kimberely got married on Saturday 13th October. They hired a photographer but said I could shadow them and take my own photos.

Cruise 2012

I went on a Mediterranean Cruise with my family in the Summer holidays, these some of the best pictures I took while I was there. I visited 2 places in each country, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Gibraltar. It was probably the best 2 weeks of my life! All these pictures are taken on my Canon EOS SLR 550D and edited in photoshop CS6.

The Deep

Today I went to The Deep with my sister and grandparents. I absolutely live sea life, it's so beautiful and colourful. Screw being a photographer, I'll be a diver!

A few days with Luke.

I got to spend some time with my 1 year old cousin this week. I don't get to see him often so this was the first time to see him walk! Hopefully next time I see him he will be talking :-)
